The best (and worst) first day responses
Caleb: You know how _____ said Mrs. C was really strict? Well, she’s not. And I have to say, she seems really young. Toby: You know how we can remember my teacher’s name? It’s something big and green with a square head. (Me: ??) You know, Frankenstein. (Yes, this was his *teacher’s* suggestion to her students because, yes, her name rhymes with said monster. I LOVE it. ) Ellie: Well, I probably didn’t sit down when they told me, or line up when they told me or something. I don’t know. Maybe I was talking. (this, when asked why she had a note ON HER FIRST DAY about not following directions…!)* *I’d like to say that both of her parents scared this behavior out of her with threats of (gasp!) never returning to school again if she can’t listen to her teachers. Day 2 went without such issues. I could have called this from the time the ultrasoud tech said I was going to have a girl…my genes + small person = a whole lot of spunk.

Too funny!
@Caleb…He sounds like such a grown-up little guy! Too funny!
@Toby…Yes, we teachers have all kinds of ways to help you remember our funny names but I have to say that is the most creative!
@Ellie…I figured you would get a note saying she was a mother hen after how she was with Hannah and Andrew! She does have some spunk, but I know she’ll do great this year!
How about mommy? Do you have any first day responses from your end?
Bet Toby never forgets the name of his first grade teacher. Love hearing how each responded to their new situation. Nice to hear Ellie is a quick learner.
Ooh…their first day I went to work (and I got soooo much done). The second day I stayed home and REALLY had the best day. I did all sorts of little projects and cleaning chores that I usually didn’t want to tackle because I always had one, two or three voices begging me to play, read or be done.
