1st Day of Kindergarten

It is so hard to believe that this day has come. All morning, getting ready for school(I teach 3rd grade at another school in the system), I just thought about him growing up right in front of my eyes.

Heading off to see his classroom and meet his teacher.

Eastwood has been renovated this summer and so they did not get to have their traditional meet and greet before the first day of school. This did not seem to bother him- he was walking in like he knew exactly where he was going. Mrs. Greer(principal) greeted him at the door with a great big smile! I knew this was going to be a great day!

Mrs. Hand and Sam on the first day of school.

Mrs. Hand, met us at the door with a list of instruction. 1. find your seat 2. unpack your backpack 3. give me any papers that you have 4. put lunchbox in certain spot 5. begin to color sheet at your desk. She made him feel very comfortable in her classroom. I quickly knew it was time for me to go so I snapped a few pictures, hugged him goodbye, and wipe a few tears from my eyes. Then I was off to meet my students at my school.
I love you Sam!!

Kindergarten was released at 12:00 today- Shawn picked him up. I had to call and find out how things went. I wished I could have recorded him- He was shouting in the phone how much Mrs. Hand was the best teacher EVER!! and the Lunchroom was GREAT!!! He had so much fun and could not wait to go back tomorrow.
