Meet the Teachers & First Day of School

This was the first week of school for Carly and Joiner at their new school. Tuesday was Open House and we could go meet their teachers and see their classes. The girls are in different classes again this year. Here is Joiner with Carly in her class talking to her teacher Mrs. Taylor. This was also our teacher during camp this summer, so Joiner was relieved that she knew her.

Carly picking out her name in her classroom. She has all new teachers and friends in her class and she is really excited.

The first and last day of school this week was this morning. They will be going Mon-Thursday. Here we are outsude our car in the driveway with our supplies. These outfits may look simple, but they were planned and discussed at length!

Outside the car at school. There is a car line, but I wanted to walk them in on the first day. I wanted a picture with the mural in the hall, but that will have to wait. The place was crazy today and I didn't want our crew making it worse!

Carly hanging her things up. Her cubbies didn't have names on them like Joiner's. All part of the different experiences. The school gives them blue tote bags, but they are not in for the new students yet.

One last hug before Carly goes in to her class. They will play together on the playground and that makes them both happy.

Joiner back at her cubby; she wanted to take Carly to her class.

I don't have any pictures of Joiner in her class because she was a little weepy and I got out fast. We all expected Joiner to be weepy, so it went pretty well. Hopefully the tears will lessen each day. She had nothing but good things to say when she got in the car. Carly was equally happy and excited, but with no tears. I think this will be a good fit. I only need to stop my anxiety that this time next year I will have dropped them off at Kindergarten. I may need to be medicated for this transition!
