Each week Ruth Ayres extends an invitation to share and celebrate events, big or small, from our week.
Today I celebrate the first day of school.
There is nothing like the first day school ~ the excitement AND all the chaos that accompanies it!
We started school this week, and looking at the first two days, I think it will be a great year. Two years ago I moved from 4th to 6th, which means I have many of the same students I had during my last year at 4th grade. That class holds a special place in my heart, and I am excited to share a classroom with them again.
Here they are together as 4th graders ~ my how they have changed!
It was also the first day of school for Megan, my daughter! Here we are on our teacher day...and no, we had no idea what the other one was going to wear!
To those of you returning to school this week ~ I celebrate your first day. May you have a wonderful year with your new students and as always, may you find many celebrations along the way!
Today I celebrate the first day of school.
Awww!! I love the picture of you and your daughter!! And your students were once your students!!! It's almost like looping. I did that once and loved it. Happy First Day and may it be the best school year ever!!!
ReplyDeleteHappy first week of school! How great that you get to be with a group you have had before! And I love the picture of you and your daughter! You need to do that every year!
ReplyDeleteOur first day was yesterday. The excitment was in the air. So fun to be sharing this huge step with your daughter.
ReplyDeleteWhat an adorable class and what a wonderful opportunity to teach them twice.
ReplyDeleteHow fun to have your former 4th graders (at least a few of them)! I love the mom and daugher pic. Happy first week of school. I'll join you next week!
ReplyDeleteSo lovely to be starting a new school year with your previous students and along with your daughter! How great is that?
ReplyDeleteThank you Leigh Ann! First day for me is Monday-2 weeks of coach "boot camp"! And kids don't come to school until the 27th...have a great school year-sounds like it's off to an awesome beginning~
ReplyDeleteI celebrate the first day of school with you.
ReplyDeleteMy Celebrate Today
Yes every year a new beginning even if it is with some from the group you had before. What a joy to have your daughter join you in the teaching profession! I am 8 days in and can celebrate all my first graders are learning already! Happy teaching, Leigh Anne! :)
ReplyDeleteHow special to have your same students again! Wishing you a wonderful second year in 6th grade. I feel so much better having one year of middle school under my belt. Hope we can connect soon.
ReplyDeleteSo excited for your daughter. I remember how I felt starting my first year. I hope you will share more about her experiences.
Oh, my goodness - the first day already! I had the special experience of having the same students 4th - 6th, so I know how wonderful it is. And yes, they change A LOT! ;-) Beautiful picture of you and your daughter!
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful year. I am sure you will have many celebrations with your students.
ReplyDeleteI love the picture of you and your daughter.
Leigh Anne, it is hard to believe that you and your daughter are back to school. Enjoy your year of learning with your group that is returning to you. How exciting. I am looking forward to hearing all about this year. Would you please consider creating a poem/photo combination for Summer Splashings? Perhaps, your students will create a class poem/photo offering for one of the galleries this year.
ReplyDeleteHappy New School Year! I think it is very exciting that your daughter is also a teacher.
