First Day of School

Yesterday, August 27, 2009 was Jackson's first day of First Grade at Riverview Elementary School in Stow. We went to "Meet the Teacher Night" on tuesday evening to visit his school and meet his teacher Mrs. Englewood. Jackson said he thought she looked like a very nice teacher and seemed to be excited to go to school the next day. He has a few friends in his class that were in his class last year at Kathy's pre-school so that is definitely helping his courage. As it turns out his first day was a success, he even got to ride in a big yellow school bus, go outside for 2 recesses and he says his teacher looks like Aunt Tara. To quote him directly he says "Mrs. Englewood has the same eyes as Aunt Tara". Hopefully this is a sign of good things to come from First grade. Ryan is starting his second year at Miss Kathy's and was a little upset that he wasn't getting to go with his big brother to a new school but once he learned that he is in the same class as his buddy Decker I think he forgot all about going with Jackson.
