Schedule Pick Up & Meet the Teacher

Ella and Sam's back to school nights fell on the same night this year.  We headed to Sam's first since it started an hour earlier.  There was already a line across the parking lot when we arrived for the kids to get their schedules.  We were able to turn in forms, pick up his schedule, take his school picture, find his locker and classrooms and meet a few of his teachers.  Sam seemed to be pleased with the teachers he had and enjoyed meeting them.  While he is not excited to go back to school he liked his schedule and seemed more at ease after finding everything.
Next, we headed to Ella's meet the teacher.  She has a brand new teacher this year and she was her first choice so she was very excited.  Her classroom looks great!  We were able to visit with Mrs. Kobermann, unload school supplies and find Ella's cubby and book tub.  She was also excited to find out that she is sitting right across from her good friend Amelie.  
After meeting Ella's teacher we headed to the cafeteria.  I helped out at some of the PTA tables so other moms could visit their children's teachers.  Ella ran around with her friends and Sam helped by giving tours to families that were new to the school.  Ella is really excited to start the year and I think Sam is comfortable with beginning again even if he will miss summer.  

Taking photos in the school is "not cool" but I was able to sneak one in the parking lot.  

Ella next to her s'more!
