First Day of First Grade!

Jacob and Claire had their first day of school this week!  They have been VERY excited.

They are in a brand new school.  The school is beautiful.  The library even has a slide down from the 2nd floor and a little treehouse above it.

We requested that they be in the same class and, if possible, have a male teacher, thinking that maybe a male would connect well with Jacob.  It turns out that they are in different classes, and Jacob has a female teacher and Claire has a male teacher.  However, in the short time they've been in their classes, I  think they will both be a good fit for our kids.

Jacob and Claire will be meeting lots of new kids this year - over half of their classmates from their Kindergarden class are in the other 1st grade class.  They have reported that they love having 2 recesses.

Since the school bus comes at 7:20, we've adjusted our schedule so that the kids go to bed a little earlier and everyone gets up earlier.  Dani has started running every day, and I've been able to have more morning time with the kids during breakfast.
