1st day of school


Melissa, Brittany & Nicole have been looking forward to this day with excitement & nervousness. They like school & are ready to go back & learn, but going to a new school always makes them anxious. You'd think they were used to this--they've been to a new school pretty much every year since Melissa started Kindergarten. That's a lot of different schools over the past 6 years. They have always adjusted well & eventually found good friends. The hard part is leaving those good friends each year & wondering if they'll find a friend when the new school year starts up again. I try my best to be encouraging & positive that they will find a friend, but it doesn't always happen as quickly as they had hoped. My heart aches for them knowing they are walking around the playground with no one to talk to or play with, but I keep my fingers crossed that one of these days they'll get off the bus with a smile on their face & tell me about the new friend they have made. Friends make school so much more fun--I just hope each one of them can find someone that clicks with their personality & they can have great memory building experiences.

Nicole is lined up, ready for Kindergarten. Her teacher this year is Mrs. Decker & she seems to be great, so far. =)

I can't believe all those little kindergartners! They are so little and small. I'm glad your kids enjoy their teachers. I think they'll have a great year!
