Today is the first day of school for Hailey. She lives just a short distance from the school. Makayla was having a sad day, thinking about the pokey grass and the sister who is going to school without her. Life is rough. Hailey kindly encouraged her to buck-up. Makayla turns 5 in a few days, and meets the deadline for starting Kindergarten, but Amy has decided she needs another year of preschool while she works on her him, her, he and she. Makayla just can't remember which pronoun belongs in her complicated sentences.
Sandstone Elementary is having a population boom this year. There are 60 new families with children going to Sandstone. Hailey spotted a few old friends, too.
She's going to be in second grade--can you believe it??? Makayla can't.
Amy has just enough time most days to walk Hailey to school before she scurries off to work.
There are three second grade classrooms this year. Hailey has Mrs. Baumann. Mrs. Baumann has a thing for rocks. Hailey will love that. Hailey, I'd be willing to donate all the rocks you keep in my car-just give me the word.
It's a nice day for being outside to sort through hoards of arriving students.
Hailey had some last minute anxiety before marching off. She tends to get anxious....
...but she rode it out and bravely headed off to her new adventure.
Makayla starts preschool next week.
Makayla's skipping right to the big time. Her University is conveniently located right across the street from Sandstone.
Happy Back to School Day, Hailey!!
Sounds like Makayla has the same problem Grandma K. had. Good luck in 2nd grade, Hailey! I remember 2nd grade with Mrs. Spencer. She was a scary teacher. I'm glad Hailey has one who likes rocks.
ReplyDeleteStarting school is always scary. I'm glad I don't have to go through that anymore.
