First Day of School

As always, summer went by way too fast.  But the kids were excited to get back to school, find out what teacher they are going to love and harass for the next year and see what friends are in their class. Matt starts 4th grade this year and Marlie is in 3rd.  Doug took this picture on their first day of school...it might be my new favorite picture.  You can see the slight bit of nervousness in Matt's face and the pure excitement in Marlie's.  So cute how every year Matt is always just a tad nervous on the first day and Marlie can't wait!
Matt has 2 teachers this year. This is his homeroom teacher, Mrs. Alfred and he'll be with Mrs. Alfred for Math & Science. Mrs. Alfred said she loves sports so hopefully these two will hit it off.  Matt has Mrs. Whetzel for RELA (reading & language arts).  The 4th graders are in portables this year...or as the school says "cabins" and I'm not sure Matt or Mrs. Alfred are super excited about the "cabins".   
We are thrilled that Marlie has Mrs. Smith, Matt's teacher from last year. We love Mrs. Smith and it gives us such peace to know Marlie will be well taken care of this year. 
Marlie is also super excited that she has tons of friends in her class (the class is mostly all girls...yikes!).  Khloe and Marlie are in class together again for the 3rd year in a row.  We all love Khloe and I'm glad they will be able to spend their days together. 
We'll be praying for our teachers all year!  Looking forward to another great year at FCE!
