First Day of Second Grade...Success!!

Or at least I am counting it as that, since the first thing Caleb said when he got in the van this afternoon was how much he loved it!

He immediately clicked with his new teacher, Mrs. Wilkes.  She is really sweet and he says she reminds him of Mrs. Franklin from last year.   She also scored big Caleb points when we visited his new classroom on Tuesday evening, and he scouted out the book section in the class.  He told me that Mrs. Wilkes has a REALLY good selection. 

One of his really good buddies, Hunter, is in his class again this year, which made Caleb even more eager for today.  He was also very excited to meet up with his "gang" (no worries, this is the sweetest "gang" around) on the playground at recess.   Since some of his buddies are not in his class this year, they will at least all get to hang out at recess, since the entire grade recesses (is that a word?) together.  He was also ready to meet new friends.  The boy who sits across from him in class is new to the school, and Caleb knows all about being the new kid from last year.  He informed me that  they are now buddies, too. 

And as always, lunch was his favorite part of the day...but that was no big surprise.

We are ready for another great year!!!   Yay Second grade!

In two more weeks, we will have another first day to celebrate...(gulp)
