Back to School Night

Tonight the girls took all their supplies to school to get them put away and meet their teachers.  Tomorrow is a 1/2 day.  Shelby is ready for sure.  She says she's bored.  Morgan?  Not sure.  I had to remind her she couldn't wear her new PJ pants all day tomorrow because she had to go to school.  She was bummed.  I told her she could wear them all day on Saturday.

Morgan - 1st Grade

Shelby 3rd Grade

Blogger finally let me post these pictures without distorting them.  We had quite the battle.  The little one was still awake at 11:00.  She'd read and read and still couldn't sleep!  Unfortunately, I don't think it was because of excitement!  Looking forward to a good year.  Oakdale opened a 4th K class & 4th 1st grade.  It's nice to see 19 or 20 in a class instead of 27 to 29 like last year.  3rd grade is down to 3 classes from 4 like they had in 1st & 2nd grade, but the numbers are reasonable with just 3.  They also now have an Assistant Principal who is a big, tall African American whose presence alone I hope will make a difference in their school.  If nothing else, he will be a huge help to Mr. Cooper.  Shelby was disappointed she did not get in Mrs. West's class because she was her 1st grade teacher and a lot of her friends are in there.  But when she saw most of the trouble makers from her class last year are also in there, she soon became happy with her placement in Miss Boline's class.  She does have a few friends from her K class she hasn't been with since.  I think she will have a good year.  I'm hoping 1st grade will bring some joy for school for little miss.  She was excited to meet her teacher and happy to see her friend Kate from K is in her class.  As far as it goes for her, it can only get better than last year!
