Meet the Teacher + Back to School, Fourth Grade and 5K

First Day

Although the trio were sad to see their summer come to an end, they were very excited to return to the regular routine. In July I had learned that the girls' teachers would be moving up with them this year, meaning that their fourth grade teachers were last year's third grade teachers. The girls l-o-v-e their teachers. 

Lauren is especially close to her teacher, and I think the feeling is mutual. I hadn't told the girls who their teachers were just in case there was a last minute change that would result in heartbreak. So when Lauren was told her teacher was her beloved Mrs. L, she ran down the hallway and gave her a big hug. Smiles all around for a big, happy surprise.  

Meet the teacher

Grace is blessed with a special teacher, too. Mrs. R reminds us so much of Sarah... a person who was born to teach and who has so much love to give to her students. We are so blessed to have a perfect fit for each of our children. 

And the best part is that they will be changing classes this year so they will share both teachers.

A couple of days later they were all set in their new clothes (except for George; he did not want a new outfit; he wanted a new toy) that they picked out themselves. Grace was chosen for "best dressed" in her class, while Lauren was spunky in her cropped jeans.

First Day

William George did not officially start school until a couple of days later (the following Monday), but he did have meet-the-teacher scheduled that night so he was included in the back-to-school routine.

Although George is a little bummed because his best friend moved on to public school, he is determined to expand his circle of friends and have a great year.

Happy to see familiar friends at his table

After all, he has twelve boys and five girls to choose from.

Ready to learn

George is blessed to have Mrs. S, kindergarten teacher extraordinaire. She has such a fun year planned out, with lots of activities, parties and field trips. George is soooo excited.

Meet-the-teacher story time

The girls returned last Thursday, and George's school started Monday. When I asked him how his day was, he said excitedly, "I had an AWESOME day!"

First day of school

We think it is going to be an amazing year.
