Grade 3 & 6
Yesterday was the smooth sailing.
It was the first day of school and both kids were ready. Although there was a moment the night before where the new kitten lunch box was missing, but after a competition to see who could find it... it was located.
Hadley decided on a meow-gical outfit with a kitten unicorn and despite buying a new outfit for the first day for Easton, he wanted to wear the outfit that Hadley gave him so many compliments on over the summer. A simple blue collard shirt with orange shorts. Today he wore the new stuff.
Easton has an amazing teacher for grade three. All the other moms that I know rave about her so I am pretty sure she will be great!
Hadley's teacher is also pretty amazing. She is in a split 5/6 this year. Her teacher is her first boy teacher. He will teach language, math, science and he is super musical so he will teach music. However, this year she also rotates to a few other teachers for social studies, health, dance/drama, French and gym.
We took the usual before school photos in front of the house. (Front door). Then we drove them to school. I love this tradition. We get to be there to see them find their new teachers, and see old friends. Hadley has 16 girls in her class this year which is so different than the two from grade 1. I hope this new mix will be great!
Morning routines are easy for Hadley but Easton is finding it a little more difficult. But we will get there, it's only day two.
I was at the school yesterday for lunch room supervision and found that there are a lot of new students! So I tried my best to introduce myself to them. Some from Scarborough, some from Ajax, and some from Guyana amongst Toronto and other places.
My school mom person, who I have done basically all of my volunteering with, co-chaired the SCC with, and basically spent most of the last three school years with has moved to Markham this summer. So this year will be different. However, I did make two other solid mom friends last year, so I will build on that. But will miss Punam immensely! We talked three times yesterday!
Today I am meeting up with Patti to see how her first day with the girls went.
Grade 3 and 6 here we come!
