It went well! Both girls really positive about their classes, their teachers and their classmates. Maddie had some tears going in, but it was truly short lived. Two minutes of crying just on the way into homeroom- unfortunate timing as thats really when you want to be at your best, but there it is......the tears stopped instantly once she was in the room and with her friends.
Ellie got right into her class- backpack up and sat down...... only a brief look on her face of minor panic-then chatted to the girl next to her and she was fine- piece of cake!
Maddie says she loves her middle school schedule of changing classes and having a variety of teachers. Ellie thought her teacher "had a really positive attitude" and a nice smile :)
I am sure the new "kicks" along with the fun socks we found out in town had a huge role in making the first day awesome.

Day one down- 179 to go....
Oh I'm so glad to see your positive post...I have been checking since 4 this morning! Maddie and Ellie are simply beautiful (and smart, too, as I remember you emphasizing as more important when I first met Maddie in Charleston) and the "kicks" plus socks are to die for!!! Changing classes was my favorite part of middle school...so many more chances to shake out the butterflies and maybe catch a glance of the cute boy in an upper grade!
ReplyDeleteHope all continues to go along swimmingly (no pun intended!) and they make lots of new friends. Love
Thanks Susan, we appreciate the comments!
