Just like we did for the rest of the summer, we fit a lot in to this final week: playdates, school clothes shopping, picnics, parades, carnivals, going to the lake, and visiting the classrooms and teachers. This morning we had a little picnic with some friends, and this afternoon we were home to rest. I think we're ready. The kids are so excited about school tomorrow that they've been saying that this is First Day of School Eve, like it's some sort of holiday. :)
So...here's a few last pictures from our summer...
Last Wednesday, we had our Kindergarten picnic at a park. I had sent an email to some of Caroline's friends inviting them to it, and mentioned that they could forward the email to their friends with Kindergarteners to invite them. Well, we wound up having at least 75 people (including Kindergarteners, siblings and moms) at the park that day! Everyone packed their own lunches, and a few people supplied juice and dessert for all the kids. It was so nice that the kids are going to school knowing a few more friends from the picnic.
Yesterday, the boys were able to visit their teachers and classrooms. Seth's teacher is the same one that he had for first grade. She is looping with the kids from first to second. We feel so fortunate that Seth is in her class again this year because she is such a gifted teacher and she already knows from last year how to motivate and encourage him. None of his close friends were in the classroom when we visited, so he is very anxious to see them tomorrow.
Henry was thrilled when he finally found out who is fourth grade teacher is: Mrs. Pitstick! She was the teacher he really wanted, and to top it all off, many of his good friends are in his class again this year!
All of these boys were in the same class last year and are this year too!
