The first day of school was today. Emma started 5th grade and Kate is in 1st grade. School starts time is over an hour earlier this year due to some district changes so the girls had to get up at 6:30 (well I did too! ugg). But we did it and quickly got back into the routine of snacks, make beds, backpacks, whats for lunch.. bus!!
Emma said she was most nervous about her retainer she got two weeks ago. She said she would just die if her teacher asked her to repeat something because he couldn't understand her! She's gotten much better about her pronounceation. She came home reporting most people didn't notice she had a retainer until the end of the day. What a relief for Emma. She was a little mad at me for making her take her trumpet to school this morning as i knew she had band. She said only one other person brought it and the band teacher said they wold officially start on Thursday. Oh well bad mom!
Kate said she was most nervous about finding her class. We went over it with her when we went to open house last week, but she was still nervous. I asked Emma to watch out for Kate and walk her to her class. When they came home I asked about it and Emma said Kate ditched her as they got off the bus at school and disappeared with her friends leading the way to their classrooms. So much for that! Kate said her favorite part of the day was recess even tho they had to play in their classrooms because it was raining outside.
Even tho summer is over it feels good to get back into a schedule and the girls were excited to start up again. We are hoping the year goes well for them!
