She wasn't nervous at all and was very much looking forward to her first day, meeting her teacher, and seeing classmates. She also gussied up (= brushed her hair several times) for a boy in her class.
She has a new teacher this year and so far, so good. Anya was pretty bummed, though, that the second grade and first grade classrooms switched this year -- so she's in the same classroom as last year. This means cubbies instead of lockers, which she was really looking forward to and "it's not fair that the first graders get lockers and we get cubbies. We're being treated like Kindergartners." It's now Friday and I think she's more or less over the injustice of it.
I'm a room parent this year, which is supposedly a pretty work-heavy job. We'll see. So far, it's consisted of a few meetings and a handful of emails. Not too bad. Since I'm a wee bit Type-A, it's a good position for me.
Just like last year, CYO athletics starts pretty much right away. Yesterday was the first soccer practice. Chris is coaching the kids again and the first game is in a few weeks. Anya wants to try cross country again and that starts in 1.5 weeks, but it's a very short season. Some other activities will make for a busy Autumn.
We're off to a good start of the school year.
