1. When is the big day? DD starts September 5th and DS starts September 7th.


2. What grades are they entering? DD starts 1st Grade and DS starts PRe-K.


3. How are you feeling about your kids going back to school? I'm pretty excited about it. I'm really looking forward to the 2 1/2 hours a day that I will get to myself. But I'm also nervous because of DD's peanut allergy. Her school handled it well in Kindergarten, so I'm sure she'll be in good hands in 1st grade as well.


4. How are your kids feeling about it? They both seem really excited


5. What sort of back pack did they pick out? DS picked out a Pokemon backpack. And DD just picked out one with cute little arrow designs. I believe it was Cat and Jack brand.

1. When is the big day?
September 5th.

2. What grades are they entering?
Kindergarten.

3. How are you feeling about your kids going back to school?
Hard to believe it is almost that time of year!

4. How are your kids feeling about it?
Neutral. It's not on this month's calendar, so not on his mind much either.

5. What sort of back pack did they pick out?
Haven't gotten a backpack yet. We've been extremely busy, and picking out a backpack is a big task for LO, so we haven't attempted.

1. When is the big day? next Wednesday!!!

2. What grades are they entering? 1st

3. How are you feeling about your kids going back to school? I'm excited & also have the regular anxiety about it. How he's going to be, if everything will go well, who is in his class, will kids be nice to him, etc etc

4. How are your kids feeling about it? He has finally declared he's excited about it now that we got the teacher letter in the mail on Saturday. Before then, he was pretty obsessed about not having his kindergarten teacher again & pretty sad about it. He now said that he wasn't excited about school because he didn't know who his teacher was going to be. Now that we know & he's familiar with her, he's excited. *hopefully it stays this way the closer we get*

5. What sort of back pack did they pick out? He really didn't have strong opinions on which one so we did kinda sway him on choosing the astronaut/space Cat & Jack one. It is just too cute.

2. What grades are they entering? K and prek


3. How are you feeling about your kids going back to school? I'm ok. The passing of time just gets to me. They're ready, I'm ready, but it also means my time home with them is ending.


4. How are your kids feeling about it? They're super excited.


5. What sort of back pack did they pick out?
They each have a backpack they've had for a few years. It has their initial on it and they collect keychains on the tabs to play with in the car or on the bus.

Thanks! We read her letter all together & I exaggerated everything to sound all nice for him so I like to think that helped. He said she sounds very nice & he liked her letter. So he was overall excited that day to hear her letter & then the principal's letter. We had a good laugh because his kindergarten teacher got married over the summer so she announced that her last name changed & he said he didn't like her new name.
Who knows, maybe that helped too. Lololol

1. When is the big day? September 5

2. What grades are they entering? 2k and 4k

3. How are you feeling about your kids going back to school? I am having mixed feelings. I am excited for them--I know D is bored at home with us 7 days a week and I think T will really benefit from routinely being away from my and being around other 2 year olds since he's usually around his brother's friends. But, since I'm teaching two days a week, it's different. I am excited about being back in the classroom and being able to focus on something other than my own kids, but I'm nervous.

4. How are your kids feeling about it? They are excited. They think it's hilarious that T is going this year and that I will be a teacher.

5. What sort of back pack did they pick out? T has his from last year. It's red, navy, and blue stripe with a space ship and his name. T's is navy with orange stripes and a dinosaur skeleton and his name (both from pottery barn).

DS1 started on Thursday. The little two start Sept 5

First grade for DS1, DD is going into K4, and DS2 is going two days a week to K2

I feel good. I'm ready for a solid routine. I'm excited for my littlest to go to preschool Tuesdays and Thursdays but also omg my baby.

They're excited too. The older two love school and I think the little one will too.

DS1 is reusing last year's backpack. It's black and blue with some Atari looking shapes all over it. The little two will get totes from the preschool.
