School Days

School is back in session and we have survived week 1! It was a big year of changes as I started teaching a new grade at a new school. Avery also started kindergarten...right down the hall from me! She didn't seem excited or scared the first morning...just shy. She had a great week, but was so tired every evening..... I've been putting her to bed 30 minutes earlier and she hasn't complained!  We've had to get up a little earlier, plus she has a busier school schedule with no more naps. Maitland started back a week earlier and has adjusted well also. I think we are all going to have a great year. Pardon the picture overload! Some are out of order but I'm too tired to fix them ;)

It was a bit early..."why is the moon out?"  


                                               Avery in my room after she met her teachers
                                           
                                            manicure and pedicure before starting school

                                                   Before the tears.....
                                   She wasn't too sure about it all, until they passed out the play-doh :)
                               Poem that Avery's teachers gave her at Meet the Teacher.
                           after her manicure we went to Tarjay for a few last-minute school items
                                                          back-to-school gifts
                                       She wanted to close her eyes and act surprised :)

                                                  she loves her new charm bracelet
                            we sprinkled her confetti out to help with back to school jitters
                                                                it worked! :)



           Avery  let me take a picture with her homeroom teacher even though she was acting super shy (this is her teacher for Spanish days; she alternates every other day with Spanish and English instruction.) She got 2 WONDERFUL teachers!

                                                   heading home after a long but great day.
