First Day of School 2015

The first day of school has arrived. Everyone agrees that it seems like yesterday it was the last day of school.  The biggest excitement is that Baker is starting Kindergarten. He is thrilled to wear a uniform and refuses to take it off when he gets home from school. He named himself Mini Quinn because they wear the same clothes now. This morning I asked if he wanted me to walk him he said no that he wanted to walk into the school "like the kids".

Baker's teacher this year is Mrs. Grismore. She is delightful and knows everyone's name after meeting them for an hour. Some of the kids from preschool are in his class (Jake, Carly, Ryan, and Vivie). The first day they read The Kissing Hand and made a puppet of Chester the Raccoon.

Look at the smile on this kid's face he is beyond ready for Kindergarten!

Quinn has Mrs. Stark this year and a few of his buddies are in his class. He is interested in the Civil War and Mrs. Stark teaches the subject this year. It will be a busy but fun year of projects and field trips.

 Mrs. Helming is Ava's fifth grade teacher. She reminds Ava of Mrs. Swihart so I think she feels very comfortable with her. If you ask her what she is most excited about she will tell you THE LOCKER. I have heard about the locker the entire summer. She has spent many hours researching youtube videos on how to organize your locker.

Here is the finished locker. I must admit that it brought a tear to my eye when I saw the picture of Grace Coyne on the front of her locker. She also has a picture of Jenna when they visited Colorado and a Daddy/Daughter Dance picture.
