With the return to school each year, there is always the worry that our children will not be happy. Starting at a new school, or a new grade, with new teachers and classmates is filled with uncertainties. So we have spent this first week thinking about our son and daughter in the new classrooms, imagining what their days might be like.
Happily, they are both thrilled with their new classes and are eager each morning to start the day.
So, despite the first-day butterflies, it has been another smooth transition and we are grateful.
I love the texture and striations on the point of the pencil – details we don’t see in normal life.
