SCHOOL TIME

It's hard to believe it's time for school again. The summer has flown by. Harder yet to believe the baby of the family is starting kindergarten. Ashley started a day before Megan and thought her teacher was great and thinks she's really going to like fourth grade. I found Ashley's kindergarten picture- wow- how she has grown!!

Ashley's first day of kindergarten

Ready to go to 4th grade!

This poem was in with Megan's kindergarten packet:

I used to be little, but not any more.

Tomorrow I'll get up and walk out the door.

I'm going to school--it's the first time for me.

It's great to be big, but I'm scared as can be.

My tummy's in knots, Do you want to know why?

I'm thinking that maybe, just maybe I'll cry.

When Dad leaves the school and I'm there all alone,

I'm thinking that maybe I'll want to go home.

But wait- Mommy said I'll play lots of games.

The first day of school, oh there's so much to do!

There's painting and books and a big playground too.

I used to be little but not anymore.

Tomorrow I'll get up and walk out the door

I'm going to school, it's my first day, you see.

It's great to be big! I'm so glad that I'm me!

Megan was excited to go to school this morning. She looked a little hesitant when we were walking over to her classroom but did just fine when we left.
