First Day of School

Hayden's class at Open House

Rebecca's class at Open House

The kids started school the Tuesday after we got back to town.  They were so excited!  Hayden started second grade and Rebecca is in full day Kindergarten.  

Love, love, love this picture!  It is so her!

Isn't he just such a handsome boy?! 

Getting on the bus

 They both had a great first day.  Hayden kept commenting for several days how good his class is, and how quiet the class is.  Hayden knew a few kids from his class last year.  His class seems to earn parties every couple weeks.  Just little reward parties.  They are a very good class. 
I get the impression that Rebecca has a rowdy class.  She gives me the list every day of who had to flip a card - the behavior system.  She has been a little angel.  She loves school, and gets excited to go every day.  I actually heard from a friend of mine that saw her at lunch and she wondered if Rebecca was liking school because she didn't say a word at all during lunch.  I got a little concerned that she maybe didn't have friends, or if she was liking it ok.  Rebecca acted like nothing was wrong.  The more I've talked with her I'm realizing maybe she's a bit like me in that in new situations she can be very quiet.  Rebecca really wants to be on her best behavior.  It did take her about 2 weeks to adjust to the full day schedule.  She was very tired and emotional about little things at first, but now she's fully in the groove.
