I warned you....more pics....

Susannah and her wonderful teacher, Mrs. Holdman. If you remember from, oh I don't know, like 6 blog posts ago, Susannah's Kindergarten teacher looped up with the kids to first grade!! Love it!! She is the best and we love her so much. Her daughter, Sydney, is also in first grade so she is in this picture, too!! :)

Here is SusieQ sitting at her desk, already doing her work on that first day. She was so very excited to be back with her favorite teacher and of course, all of her friends from last year! She even had a playdate after school yesterday at a friends house. She loves 1st grade already and it's only been 2 days!!!

Grace is in 4th grade this year. Our school is just huge. So, of course, we now have portable classrooms at our school. Yep. Our school is ONE YEAR OLD!! Talk about poor planning on the school board's part. Their enrollment is .....get this....1,130 kids!! That is just K-5th grade. Isn't that CRAZY?? So, they put all of 4th grade outside. You know, the other grades are too little to go outside and 5th grade has earned the right to stay inside because they are the biggest in the school. Grace took a sweater to school yesterday. So funny. She said it is freezing in the classroom. I guess that is a blessing. They can control their own heat and air so I don't have to worry about her sweating in this crazy south Texas heat!

Grace in her classroom. She wouldn't let me take her picture with her new teacher. The main reason? He is a new teacher and he is a HE!! That is right. Our school had to hire 17 new teachers this year and one of them is a male teacher. The only one in our school besides one of the PE coaches. So, she was a little apprehensive at first about him and getting to know him. Now, she really likes him. Why? Because his little sister plays college softball!!! How cool!! :)
