Start of a new school year

Well the kids are back in swing with a new school year. Chloe started 2nd grade today and Caitlyn started kindergarten. They are now back to a traditional school year and not year round. They are attending Kershaw Elementary School. Chloe's teacher is Mrs. Gardner and Caitlyn's is Mrs. King. They are both excited to start school. It is so hard to believe that I have 2 children in elementary school. Time sure does fly.

Dale loves to take pictures so here is Chloe in front of the school sign. We are the Bulldogs.

Chloe with all her school supplies in her class at her desk. Can you tell she is just a little apprehensive?

This is Chloe and Mrs. Gardner.

Caitlyn was so excited to get to go to school today. Since she is in kindergarten she only went for a few hours today and then will go on Thursday and all students will attend Friday. They have a staggered entry. So I went along with her today for her orientation.

She was ready to go with her backpack and all.

When we got to her classroom she was really shy and would barely talk to anyone.

She did not like me taking the pictures. Here she is faking a smile just so I could get a picture. By the end of the day she was starting to warm up to Mrs. King and the other students. She will be fine once she gets to go each day. She is still talking about it now.

Both girls seemed to have a great time at their new school and meeting new friends. Overall it was a very successful day.
