1st Day of 1st Grade

Banks was up and at 'em shortly after 6:00 am this morning! He has been ready for this day for about a week now...it was his 1st Day of 1st Grade! I can hardly believe it! Here are the school goers ready to get in the car {complaining about me taking their picture together}: {Notice Mary Reese had a wardrobe change. She decided she didn't like the outfit she originally picked out last night...the pants hurt her stomach. Go figure!}

I was just going to drop Banks off and let him walk in by himself. When I pulled up at the school...everyone was walking their child in...so I parked my car and walked him in! Here he is outside his classroom door:
Here is the big 1st Grader at his desk: He is sitting with Eppes, Ian and Marque. I think they had a wonderful day! He came home with a cute workbook they worked on all day. Since it was a new school for all of them, they went on a scavenger hunt around the school: They found the library, the playground, music, drama, Spanish, the office, art, enrichment and the ever important lunchroom! A fabulous way to learn their way around a new school!

I loved this All About Me Glyph! He came home and got right on his first "homework" assignment: He had to gather 3 things about him that fit in a brown lunch bag! He picked a dinosaur because he likes dinosaurs, a fireman because that is what he wants to be when he grows up and a car because he likes cool cars!

Our sweet guidance counselor even sent me a happy for our first day of school! She spoils me rotten!
