Rachel's First Day of Second Grade

School started today for Rachel! She was really ready to go back. She was a little nervous about going to a new school. She was worried about everything being different than it was at her old school. I tried to explain to her school was school no matter where you went. They would have lunch, recess, library, music, and PE. Even with my reassurance she did not believe me.

We got up early this morning and got everybody ready to walk Rachel to school. No more sleeping until 9am for us! Chris and I really like being on the school schedule, everybody goes to bed early! Dropping Rachel off for second grade was a lot easier than dropping her off for Kindergarten! The house was sure quiet today with Rachel not here to fight with Luke. Luke, Kate, and I played and waited for the Culligan man this morning and went grocery shopping after lunch. At 3pm we walked over to pick Rachel up. It sure was hot! Rachel met us with a smile. She talked all the way home about the differences and similarities between Greathouse and Fannin schools. She said the chicken sandwich tasted the same as the one at her old school, and they have chocolate milk too. She had a great day and really likes her teacher. She said there are lots of girls in her class, so we hope she makes new friends fast. We are praying for a great second grade year!
