Our Will is entering 1st grade and this is a big year of change! Thankfully our kids' school start dates have all been staggered (Will- Aug. 22nd, Isa- Aug. 26th, Gabi- Sept. 3rd). Will started 1st grade in a new building, Avon East. His teacher this year is Mrs Katie Kneisel. Needless to say, Will has been a little apprehensive about the start of this school year. After 3 years at Avon Village Elementary, moving to a new school, riding the bus again, and having an early start time has caused some anxiety. However, we were blessed to find out that Will and his buddy Luke would be in the same class. Even better news, Luke as been allowed to ride the bus, and he, Evan and Will are at the corner by 7:28am waiting for bus #36.
We know each day will be a little easier! Upon arrival of his first day home we asked him how it was, his response "good, but not that good." By that evening, he was telling us all about his new routine and what he did that day. We also received a note from the teacher saying he did extremely well. What a relief!
So, on August 22nd, our little 7 year old started 1st grade, and another cool adventure!
Evan, Luke & Will
