My post for Monday August 18,2008

Monday was "M.T.T.D." Meet The Teacher Day! at school. The kids were excited to go say hi to their teachers and see their new classrooms. School starts this Wednesday, boy the summer just flew by, especially after we got home from California.

Megan will be in Mrs. Harden's 2nd grade class this year. We have known Mrs. Harden since Paige was in 2nd grade, back then Paige had Mrs. Black. Mrs. Black and Mrs. Harden were team teachers so Mrs. Harden would see Megan when we would come to the class parties. Mrs. Black now teaches at a new school in the district and she will be jealous when she finds out that Mrs. Harden has Paige's little sister in class.
Megan is holding the class mascot, it will be fun to hear what kind of name the kds come up with. The class mascot will take turns going home with the kids and the kids will write about their adventures with the class mascot in a journal. When Paige was in Mrs. Black's class it was "Melman" the giraffe. Paige ended up winning Melman in a drawing at the end of the year. Now Melman hangs out with Buddy on Paige's new headboard.

Paige was excited to meet her 5th grade teacher, since Mrs. Ramono is new to the school. She seems very nice. Paige was also excited to get her locker number and combination. The 5th graders have a locker in the 5th grade hall, a little practice for when they go to middle school next year. How did that happen so fast?

It took a few tries, but she figured it out. She had the combination memorized by the time we were back in the car. Her teacher gave them a little "test" for the first day of class. She had them put a book in their locker and they are to bring it to class on Wednesday.

Oh and look at that, we ran into Cameron while we were there.
Snap! another cute picture!
