Hazel's and Nathan's first day of school

Nathan was nervous for school to start, which wasn't surprising. He is a little worrywart! When his first day of first grade was all over, he came home very happy and excited to be in school. One of the big reasons was because his teacher, Mrs. Chatterley, gives out rainbow stones (those little glass rocks in different colors). He earns a rainbow stone every day for his good behavior, and that makes him so proud!


Hazel was very excited for school to start again. She has always been very social, so she had no anxieties. Her teacher is Mrs. Orme. Hazel has been doing well thus far and is a really good reader. I can't believe she is already in 3rd grade!


As for me, it is so nice to not have a Kindergartener anymore. Hazel and Nathan can now ride their bikes to and from school together. It was so hectic last year to have one kid on half day and one on full day.

Also, I've signed them up to be in their school choir, which they will stay after school one day a week to sing in. It will be a fun experience for them. I'm excited to hear them coming home singing the songs they will learn.
