McKenna started Kindergarten today, and I just can't believe this day has arrived. She has been so excited to start school and it couldn't have been much better! I thought I would be so sad, but she was so happy and excited to be going, I couldn't help but be happy and excited for her.
Caleb had been dreading going back to school all summer. We don't know what happened, because he's always loved school. Somehow his attitude toward it changed in the months off. But, at "meet the teacher" day last Thursday, he noticed that he would get to have science this year, and that made all the difference in the world. Ever since that day, he's been so excited (and I've never been so thankful for a science book! =)).
Both kids had great first days. They started it out walking in together, which was so cute. Caleb dropped McKenna off at her classroom (wish I could have been there for that) =).
McKenna says that they did the Pledge of Allegiance outside at the flagpole, went to an assembly, got to sit wherever they wanted in class, and had library. That's pretty much all I could get out of her on the first day. But she said it was "GREAT!".
Caleb loved it as well. Not too much to report. He's sitting by 2 of his friends, he could understand his teacher just fine (which I was a little concerned about b/c she's speaking Spanish and I've heard she's a "fast talker" =)), and he also got to have library (his favorite special). Here are some of the pictures of their first day:
