1st Day of 1st Grade!

Will started 1st grade this week!  1st grade?!?!  When did that happen?  He was so excited about his teacher and his classmates that there was no first day jitters for this boy.  The only thing he said he was a little nervous about was finding his classroom since he didn't know which room it was, however, he wasn't nervous enough to let it take over the excitement for his first day.

 

When he got off the bus at the end of the day, I asked him how his day went and his reply was "FANTASTIC!"  I couldn't ask for a better response.  His favorite part of the day was the fact that he got his own desk and that the teachers give out tickets to the students when they are good and listen to direction. Once you get 15 tickets, you win a prize.  Will is a competitive kid so this is right up his alley.  Every day he gets off the bus he tells me how many tickets he has and that he is in the lead.  This teacher doesn't know who she is up against.  This boy will try and win every prize in her box.

 

Happy 1st day of school Will!!

  

Poor Jack was sad that Will was leaving him.  He was used to having Will to play with all summer long and now he was going to be gone all day.  Every time I look at this picture it makes me laugh.  Will and Sara with their smiles and poor Jack so sad at the end.  However, Jack got over it pretty quickly one Will got on the bus.

Here comes the bus! 

Sara was more than happy to smile for a few more pictures after Will left.  She is such a ham in front of the camera now.
