First days of school for all

This was a year of lots of first for our little family as we all experienced a "first" day of school. Anxiety ran through my blood for many nights before my first official day with the students. I am teaching 4th grade at Shelby Oaks Elementary and still feel as if I have a lot to learn. Jake is in his first year at Elmore Park and seems to enjoy it, he did not feel much anxiety about the change this year. Ginny is a big 7th grader at Elmore Park with her dad. Aubree is excited to be in 5th grade and see what the year has in store for her. Jake (Will) is in 1st grade and Christopher is still in pre-K. As a family, we can officially say that we finished our first week of school. To celebrate our first week, we went to a movie and a Redbirds game that night. Family is what it is all about!
