Meet the Teacher

We are normally super early on the purchase of school supplies. However, this year we ran way behind because 1) our school was a little late getting out the supply lists and 2) we were traveling when it was received. We also missed the tax free holiday weekend, meaning that when we finally shopped, everything was picked over. We were outraged and made all kinds of vows to never be late again. (Kidding.)

We had decided to go early one morning to gather supplies, and I shared our plans with everyone, individually, the night before. Here are their responses.

So we got the school supplies, and Lauren helped me sort, label and pack everything.  Soon enough it was time for Meet the Teacher night, and we took all of our supplies to school, got teacher assignments and met our teachers. Gracie got Mrs. L, Lauren's favorite teacher that she has had for the last two years, and Lauren was assigned a teacher that is new to their school. The fifth grade classes will be rotating, though, so they will each have three different teachers. George was assigned our beloved Mrs. Q.

Gracie looks very nervous here to have landed "Lauren's" teacher. While Lauren was blinking back tears, Gracie was nervously trying to figure out a way to spare Lauren's feelings. Lauren's tears were brief, and Lauren promises to give Mrs. K a fair chance (she likes her already). Also, they understand changing classes a little better now.  

We think it's going to be a great year.
