Another first day of school

It's now officially the end of summer. At least for Emma and Morgan. Today is their first day of school. They got on the bus at 8:15 and are bound for their first day of First Grade. No longer the newbie Kindergartners, they're old hands at this school thing.

Emma will have the same teacher she had last year, Mrs. Krohn. Mrs. Krohn does this periodically where she will follow her kindergarten class to the first grade. So, new grade, new room but same teacher. On orientation night on Tuesday, Emma met a new classmate who has just moved to the school named Hannah. Emma showed her flair for hospitality and gave Hannah a guided tour of every part of the school we would let her. I think it made Hannah feel very welcome.

Morgan will be with a new teacher this year, Mr. Skoglund. She's very excited. On orientation night, she earned $100 in Skoglund bucks. Mr. Skoglund has a "money" system where kids can earn money for good behavior and will have to pay a fine for bad behavior. Mr. Skoglund also said she did the best job of introducing herself. If you haven't guessed by now, they're both very outgoing.

Here they are, boarding the bus for another year at Pilot Knob.
