And the fun has begun...

So yesterday was the first day of school...yes on a Friday. Why you ask? Well NC has passed a law that school can't start before Aug. 25 and Wake County thought, "Hey let's start school the first day we can." So yes we started school on a Friday. It was very awkward to say the least b/c you knew you couldn't really start anything b/c the kids would forget over the weekend.

Anyways, the kids all came in very excited and loaded down with school supplies. They were all very excited about their school supplies and mounds of tissues and ziplock bags. They are all very cute but as a whole they are the most talkative group I have ever seen. I was very surprised how talkative they were because half of the students were new to the school. But the positive spin on that...I'm glad they are all getting along and being nice to one another.

It was also nice to see a few familiar faces around school as a couple of my previous students had moved to my new school too. Overall the first day went well and I'm excited to see what the year will bring. Let's hope this optimism stays!
