Meeting the Teachers

We went to meet the elementary school teachers today. Collin and Danny are in the same class this year. They just happen to have the teacher Collin had last year. Collin really liked her, so he was excited to have her again this year. When we walked in, she could tell the boys apart right away. Points for her! Kaylyn has the teacher Nathan had for fifth grade. We LOVED her. She really made Nathan's transition to the new school an easy, happy one and she continues to be Nathan's favorite elementary school teacher. Kaylyn is really happy that one of her best girlfriends is in her class. That fact alone has made Kaylyn really excited to start the year. Claire has a teacher new to our school. She took a couple of years off to have her children and is now back to teaching. She seems really happy and upbeat and Claire seemed to like her. It turns out that Gary is coaching the teacher's niece in soccer and Nathan's gym teacher is Claire's teacher's uncle. (Are you confused yet?) I guess she's well connected in the area!

It was really nice to see the teachers in the hall ready to welcome the kids back. So many of them greeted the kids by name and seemed happy to see them. I love that small school feeling. Well, I guess, ready or not, here it comes! Our new school year starts now!
