The First Day of School!

Cole started first grade and Kayley started third grade yesterday!

My first grader, all dressed up in Shaun White (he's all the rage) clothes and all ready for school.
 
 
Cole has the same teacher Kayley had in first grade. We are thrilled because her teaching style and patience level is wonderful for my dear son. Cole has been very determined to have good behavior this year. The teacher called yesterday afternoon and gave a great report! 

Ready to learn!
 
 
When I asked Cole what his favorite thing about first grade was he said, "we get THREE recesses!"
 
All set for third grade! Please note the red converse. She wouldn't have it any other way!
 
 
Kayley's teacher is new to us. Thankfully she is a very nice woman who Kayley already loves! Kayley said that her first day of school was challenging. That's a great thing for my girl who whipped through her schoolwork lightening fast in second grade and twiddled her thumbs while the rest of the class caught up.

Miss Kayley at her desk and with her Daddy!

 
After we checked out Kayley's class she came along to check out Cole's. They are three doors down from each other!
 
 
The first day of school was a huge success! I can't believe my kids are getting so big. I don't know whether or not to be sad or happy!
 
What I do know is that this is Kayley's fourth year of school and this year was so much easier. We know what to expect with everything. The people and the schedule are already familiar to us, it's wonderful!

Love those kids! Glad to hear their first day was a success! I hope they both have a super fantastic year! Did they get any friends in their class?

Each of them got some of the kids from the previous year in their class. Just a couple friends in Kayley's class. To Cole a friend is anyone he's talked to, smiled at or bumped into. So yeah, he has lots of friends in his class! :)
