Back To School

We had our special family Back-to-School dinner tonight. We had the table all decorated and wrote the boys letters. We had cake for dessert, packed the lunch boxes, and they each had a blessing before bedtime. We're ready for tomorrow!

This is a poem I printed for the parents in my class to give out at Meet the Teacher night tomorrow (my district starts on Tuesday.)

First Day of School

I used to be little, but not anymore

Tomorrow I’ll get up and walk out the door.

I’m going to school.

It’s the first time for me.

It’s great to be big, but I’m scared as can be.

My tummy’s in knots.

Do you want to know why?

I’m thinking that maybe, just maybe, I’ll cry

When Mom and Dad leave the school

And I’m there all alone.

I’m thinking that maybe I’ll want to go home.

But wait, Mommy said I’ll play lots

Of new games.

And meet lots of friends

I can learn all their names.

The first day of school

Oh, there’s so much to do

There’s painting and books and a big playground too.

I used to be little, but not anymore.

Tomorrow I’ll get up and walk out the door.

I’m going to school.

It’s my first day you see.

It’s great to be big

I’m so glad that I’m me!
