Second Grade... Coming Soon!

Delaney will start school on August 18. She will be in the second grade, and it's only 3 days away!

We had gotten a letter earlier this week about open house. It had a little bit about her teacher, a list of students that will be in her classroom, and a class schedule. Delaney immediately started to cry! She only knew one little girl in her class, and we were having trouble trying to figure out how to pronounce the teacher's name.

Last night, we went to open house at school. We met her teacher, Mrs. Mansilla (pronounced man-SEE-uh), and she is very nice! She was very sweet and friendly, and seems to have a great love for the kids. I'm so relieved to have met her because I think I get more nervous about school and the teachers than Delaney does!

Allen Elementary seems so huge. There are several halls of classrooms for the second grade students! Last year we were told that at last count, there were 305 first-graders. Wow. That's a lot of kiddos!

When we were getting all of Delaney's things together to take to her new class last night, Jenna got herself a backpack and wanted to take "her" things to school, too. LOL... Thankfully, it will be a couple more years before we have to worry about Jenna going to school. I'm not quite ready for that yet!
