First day of second grade

I'm now the mother of a second-grader! Emma had a few butterflies in her tummy this morning, but I think it was just the excitement of being in second grade...


We went to orientation last night and found out who Emma's teacher is. There was one teacher I definitely did NOT want her to get, and I was super-relieved when I saw she wasn't on his class list. I feel horrible saying that, and I'm sure it's no fun being the teacher that no one wants to get. But he has a reputation for being kind of a yeller and I know that would not be good for Emma.

Anyway, her new teacher is Mme. Valluett - she is from France and is super-nice.


I'm hoping Emma has a great year...she told me some kids say second grade is "really hard." Hopefully that's not the case!

PS this is the first year I didn't cry when I dropped Emma off at her first day of school...I guess the next time I will bawl will be when I take her to college!

Emma looks so sweet -- love her uniform! Her teacher is so pretty and looks so nice! Luckily, we also avoided the cranky teacher! Wow -- we are a lot alike -- first year I didn't tear up too! Hope Emma has a great year!

Congrats on a tear free first day (for both of you!). Emma looks so grown up in her pretty uniform. Is that a uniform? Oh how I wish my kids' school had uniforms!
