First Day of School!

August 18, 2021

Today was a big day! Scarlett’s first day of kindergarten (take 2) and August’s first day of school ever for Pre-K! The kids met their teachers last week and were so excited for their first day today—they both have some pretty amazing teachers. Last night, they watched the kindergarten teachers read “‘Twas The Night Before Kindergarten” and then put “magic confetti” under their pillows to help them fall asleep and be ready for the first day. Well, thank you teachers because that confetti worked and the kids went right to bed last night and woke up so ready to go to school! There were no first day jitters or anything, they both walked right in their classrooms and got started:) Today was a half day so I didn’t have as much time to miss them today, but tomorrow Scarlett has her first full day ever😭 She will do great, but I’m not so sure I will!😆

I’m so glad they both had such a great first day! We are blessed to be back at St. John and hope that the school year can continue being a source of joy for the kiddos. I’m so proud of them! ❤️
