First day of school

 The kids brought a treat for their teachers on the first day.  We did an easy one this year-homemade chocolate chip cookies in a blue mason jar.

Their first day of school breakfast.

 My 5th and 2nd graders

Carter's first day of 5th grade and last first day of elementary school.  Where has the time gone?

 Audrey's first day of 2nd grade. 

 They are ready! If only the bus was. The kids have a new bus driver this year and he was extremely late the first day.  I was getting the kids in the car to drive them when he finally came. 

 Finally, made it to school!

 The teachers greeted the students with the Dunlap Eagle at the entrance.  A fun start to the first day of school!

 We are so grateful Audrey got the same 2nd grade teacher Carter did.  Mrs. Pitzer is an amazing teacher!  She makes learning fun and knows how to encourage the students to challenge themselves.  Here's Audrey's class pic from the first day.

Sure enough, Audrey wrote about her stitches in a journal entry.  Ha!
