Jackson's First Day of School!!!!!!



Well actually it was only an hour of school!
Today was the first day of school for our school district and it was a half day. The kindergartners only go for 1 hour with their mom and dad. There were two different time slots you could go and we chose the later one at 10AM. I'm glad we did because it was a lot less crowded. Only 7 kids were there. There are a total of 24 kids in his class.
It was kind of like an open house. We went and put his supplies away and were able to look and play with everything in the room. The teacher took time to talk to each of the kids and at the end she gathered them together for some songs and poems. Jackson had a great time. His favorite thing in the room was the gecko! He was totally amazed by it. They also have 2 gerbils. His teacher's name is Mrs. DeBord. She is very nice and I think she will be perfect for Jackson.
Here are some pics:







Tomorrow Jackson will ride the bus and stay all day!!!!
I will post more pictures again tomorrow.
