Back to School/Back to Work

Three of us in our family are full time Morgan Rockets!!!  School began bright and early Tuesday morning and I am absolutely delighted to have both kids with me at Morgan Elementary this year.  It has always been a dream of mine to have my children attend the school I teach at.  Sloane could not wait for her first day of kindergarten.  She's been asking to go everyday for the last 2 weeks.  She was Miss Independent Tuesday morning, not wanting me around and insisting she would "be fine on her own."  Since I was in my own classroom and unable to attend the "Tea and Tissue" meeting for kindergarten parents, a good friend of mine escorted Sloane on her first morning.  Russell also has had a wonderful start to the school year.  After asking him how first grade was, he replied, "My teacher is nice.  I was REEEAAAALLLY hoping for a nice teacher."  He doesn't know I personally requested her :-)  Every time I see either of them during the day, they are ALL smiles.  I couldn't be happier!!!  As for my first week...exhausting!  I do have a great group of students and am looking forward to a FUN year! 
As you can see by the darkness, we leave each morning before the sun is up.
First grade here I come!
All lined up and ready for kindergarten.
