Meet the teacher


At the end of last year Austin was able to meet his teacher for third grade.   I love that their school makes it a priority for the kids to know who their next teacher is and where the class is located before they leave for summer break.  They don't have to spend the summer worried about what to expect or be scared on the first day of school because they don't know where their class room is.

Austin is thrilled with the teacher he has this year and he is excited because he gets to move up to Building B.  Building A is for kindergartners through second grade and Building B is for the big kids, third grade through fifth grade.  Once he is in sixth grade he will be moving up to middle school.  Scary, and not something I'm ready to think about yet. He is halfway done with elementary school already!

The school opened up it's doors today for all of the students and their parents to come in and meet the teacher.  Austin was excited to show me his class room and it was nice to get to meet his teacher.  She is very kind and I think it will be a great year for him.  I was able to get a couple of pictures of him in the class room but he is getting too old and shy to get a picture with his teacher.  Oh well, maybe later this year...


 Emma was lucky to have been able to meet her teacher in the past too.  She has the same teacher that Austin had for Kindergarten.  Emma was thrilled because the teacher remembered her from a couple of years ago when she was visiting Austin. 

At lease she isn't too big to get a picture with her teacher!
