First Grade

Wow where has the time gone! I have a first grader! It is going to be an adjustment having him gone all day, but you really do better with routine and structure. You are a busy boy and always need to be doing something. All summer you have been telling me you are not excited for school and that it is boring. Even up until the week before you were moaning and groaning about going back. Two days before school started we still had not heard who would be your teacher, but when we went to get the mail there was a postcard from your teacher-to-be Mrs. Gorum. We were estatic! That was who we both had wanted and heard so many wonderful things about! Now you were ready for school to start. The first day you were ready an hour early and all smiles. You only knew one other boy in your class, but that did not phase you-you were stoked to be there and meet new people. I hope that this enthusiasm continues and that you can really learn and grow this year. You have so much potential, just need help channeling it into good things!
