Meet the Teachers

The day we've been waiting on finally arrived. We got to meet our new teachers yesterday. The kids are very excited about school. I'm the one having anxiety issues. I had the worst time going to sleep last night. I'm worried about new teachers, new schedules, new friends, a new bus driver and bus stops. What am I going to do with myself??? I have house plans for the first few weeks (carpet cleaning, painting, organizing and sorting), but then what???

Anyway, back on track...meet the teachers.

Introducing Mrs. D! When we first looked her up in last year's year book, Jaelyn said "She looks like Miss Angie." We are hoping she's as nice as Miss Angie. I've heard Mrs. D is strict, but nice. That's just what Jaelyn needs especially as school gets harder. She's going to get real grades this year. No more of this "consistantly evident" and "developing" junk. Jaelyn is excited to have several of her friends, and one of her best friends, in her class.

Introducing Mrs. F! I don't know much about Mrs. F, but a friend who subs has told me she's her favorite 2nd grade teacher. That says a lot. Allie was super excited to look at the names on desks in the classroom and discover Alex's name just a few desks away from her. You might remember Alex was her Kindergarten "boyfriend" who was back to being a friend by the end of the year after they "broke up" in the spring. In addition to Alex, Lucas is also in her class. We've played with Lucas a few times this summer (he's the brother of Jae's best friend, Heather) and Allie and Lucas really clicked. I'm worried the boys could become a distraction to her. Allie also has 2 friends from her Brownie troop in her class.

Introducing Miss K! Doesn't she look like a Kindergarten teacher? She's adorable and so sweet. She was an aide in Jaelyn's 2nd grade class so she knew who Caden was when we walked in the door. Her room is Jaelyn's old K room. I think Caden liked that. Caden is going to do awesome. I reminded him he can only start school if he promises (again) to always give me hugs and kisses.

Monday, the girls have a regular day and Caden has gradual entry. I'll go with him for 2 hours in the morning. He's on his own on Tuesday. I'm going to be a crying fool! I'm planning a boo hoo breakfast with some friends followed by art therapy (pottery painting at Amazing Glaze) to take my mind off of how fast my kids are growing up!
