1st day of New School – 2010
Posted on 23 August 2010 | No responses
Today both girls start school in a new school. A totally new environment.
The morning started off with its ups and downs. Allie was up at 6:30am ready to go. She got up, went downstairs where she got dressed, did her hair, and got all her things packed together and ready to go. At 7:00 she was ready to leave. That was when I had to tell her she had another hour before it was time to walk out the door 
Madison moved a bit slower this morning which made her a bit more grumpy or “diva-ish” as I like to call it. The next couple of weeks the kindergarten class is doing colors. Each day they are doing a different color. The child is supposed to wear that specific color for the day. Today’s color was brown. Although we had picked out Madison’s outfit the night before because she was in her mood she was not thrilled at all about having to wear brown this morning.
On the way out the door I wanted to grab some 1st day photos. Allie was all for it. Madison was not I still captured a few.
I got them to school and watched them go in the door. At that point I shut my mind off. Praying they made it to their classrooms and waiting till 3 to pick them up!
3pm – Pick up time
Both girls had fabulous days and that makes my heart happy. They jumped into the car so excited to tell me about their day.
Allie – Loves all her teachers. Did a good job helping Madison to her classroom this morning and finding her own room. Is excited to be doing a time capsule. Made friends with the other new girl in the classroom. Was thrilled to learn she will be dissecting a plant after she learns ALL the plant parts. She had a great day
Madison – Loves her school. Loves that a bee is her mascot. Told me ” she was not living well in her classroom because there were way too many “m’s” and she was always confused as to where she was supposed to be. (I guess a lot of people have names that start with M) She was very excited to learn how to write a correct S. She made a friend. She colored a picture of a brown bear and told me everyone was wearing pink except her. I just laughed. Tomorrow is Red day and we have a cool red outfit for her. She had a great day and is excited to go back tomorrow!
As I breath out I think today was a great start to a good year!
