First Day of School

Well we got Nathan dropped off this morning for his first day of first grade. The times of the school have changed. Last year he went from 7:45 until 2:30 this year he goes from 8:30 until 4:00. I am not complaining about the later start time but I really don't like the going until 4:00. I really was not ready for school to start because we have been having such a fun summer. But Oh Well I guess that is part of life. Nathan is in the same class(the transition class) as last year but as a first grader there are three first graders in the class. Then he will go to a regular first grade class for one hour a day with a paraprofessional. So I am happy that he has the same teacher most of the day. He said he was ready to go back to school and he did fine this morning. It is just going to be a long day with their new hours.

I told Donald that I did not think Nathan would even notice the change in the times of the school. Well silly me, his teacher said that around 2:00(I picked him up at 2:15 last year)he started saying it is time for Mommy to come and Mommy is coming. So I told him that when the little hand is on the 4 Mommy will be there to pick him up. They did say he did a lot better today about the time.
