1st day of SECOND grade!

Josh headed off to second grade today! Last night he said his heart was beating really hard; he was nervous. But today he was all smiles and excited to see his friends again.



We weren't sure who his new teacher would be, but there are only two sections of second grade at his school, so we had a 50/50 guess. We checked this morning and learned he is in Ms. Mitchell's class. But then we found out that the two sections switch teachers every day after recess, so he has Ms. Mitchell in the morning and Ms. Salazar in the afternoon.

Ms. Mitchell's classroom is very exciting: it has NO desks! Just assorted reading areas and work tables. Ms. Salazar's classroom has proper desks for math, science, and social studies.



Josh was excited to find that several of his friends from last year are in his section. He had no problems saying goodbye and was happy to be back in school.

At home, it was time for celebratory cupcakes!



Lucas really enjoyed his blue icing!
