Yesterday was Luke's first day of first grade at Rosenewald-Dunbar. I am so excited he gets to go to school where Yaya used to teach and where I went to fifth grade. Some of the staff is still there that was there when I was in school. I have so many memories in that school. Some of my very best friends (that I am still friends with now) where made in that building. I hope Luke makes lasting friendships there as well.
Luke was really nervous and excited for first grade. He was nervous because he didn't know anyone in his class, but also very excited because he loved kindergarten. He also wanted me to take him this year. So we got to school much earlier than we needed to. We waited in the car a while and then we walked in. I could tell he was still nervous. We walked him in to the gym where all the students must remain until school starts. He sat down with the other first graders and then told us we could leave.
When I went to pick him up he looked like he'd had a wonderful day. He told me that he loved school and that his teacher was really nice. He also named a few friends that he'd met... Charlie from Garden Gate and Hampton who lives in our neighborhood. He loved first grade. :)
Sending Luke to RDES for first grade was much easier that sending him to kindergarten. I just teared up a little as opposed to the "ugly cry" I had on the first day of kindergarten. I do miss him LOTS during the day, but I know he is having a wonderful time in first grade. :)
