The first day of school went off without a hitch! We are so blessed that our children attend a school that they love and are actually thrilled to go back to. They both couldn't wait for school to start.
Sadie started her first day of 1st grade with the traditional Rose Ceremony. All of the graders gather together along with the new 1st grade class and their parents. The 1st grade teacher tells the children a story that is suppose to be a metaphor for transitioning from kindergarten to the grades. Then each of the children cross a little bridge as their name is called and receives a rose from one of the 5th graders and shakes hands with their new teacher. It's very sweet and symbolic. There were lots of tears.
She loved 1st grade. Her exact words were, "It was sweet!" She also said she likes 1st grade much better than kindergarten!
Jonah started out his first day of 4th grade excited to be back with his friends. He also will be learning how to play the violin this year and is very much looking forward to it.
