I have to admit that the fact that Charlie would soon be in first grade, all day school was both exciting (7 hours of school every day!!!) and sad (how did he get so old?) When we went to go buy school supplies this year, it really hit me. Just last year I was buying things like triangle crayons. This year it was all real supplies. Charlie was so, so excited to see all of his things. We'll see how much of the school year they survive!
Finally it was time to go to the "Meet the Teacher" social. Our school district does not release the classroom assignments until just a few days before class begins. So you go to the social to see which class you are in. At Little Cedars you also get to enter your classroom and meet the teacher. Charlie had two classes/two teachers to see. He was so excited to be back at his new school.
He'd hoped to be in the same class as his friend from Kindergarten, Belle. I had prepped him that this might not happen, and it didn't. Charlie recovered nicely when the boy standing next to us (Dallin) happened to be in his class too. We followed them into the school to find his new classroom - #111.
Once we got to the class there were instructions to follow on the board at the front of the room. Charlie had fun reading them and doing what they said.
He was extremely excited about the things on his desk for him to take home.
Then it was time to find his Connections room. It is the door just across the hall from his 1st grade class. Couldn't be a better set-up.
We spent some more time visiting with Ms. Dickison and saw another familiar face from Totem Falls.
And then we went and found the important place... the playground. Charlie really likes the playground. (Understatement.)
Finally, it was time to go back home. Charlie was jumping out of his skin with excitement to start the new year!
