Gretchen starts kindergarten this month, and I'm just in shock at how fast these last 5 1/2 years have gone by! I have mixed emotions about this day, as I'm sure many parents do, and I want to make the day as special as possible for her! I've been pinning ideas for back to school ever since I started pinning, so it's time to make use of them!
I thought I'd share with you a few of my favorite back to school pins today!
I absolutely love the idea of giving Gretchen a special little something to wear on her first day of school. I ordered a chunky school bus necklace, but it'll be too busy to wear with her first day of school outfit, so i'm saving it for the second day. But, I really want to find us matching bracelets somewhere so I can give her this poem.
I love the idea of taking their picture on the first (then last) day of school to see how much they've grown! I'm praying that I'll be up early enough to get everyone taken care of and to take her picture.
Megan won't be starting preschool until the day after Labor Day, and I'll have Adalyn as well on Gretchen's first day. DJ is asking if he can come in late that morning, and hopefully we can get her dropped off at school that first day and have time to take plenty of pictures. I'm totally going to be "that mom" that hangs out entirely too long and takes entirely too many pictures on their child's first day. I'll probably shed a tear or two, or many more than that!
What scares me most about Gretchen going to kindergarten is that she'll get lost in the shuffle. Get put on a wrong school bus (especially because the plan is for me to pick her up every day) or that she'll be too terrified to tell me her name.
Working in the public schools in Indiana, I know all too well that scared feeling that a child has, and how much help a kindergarten teacher needs on the first day. I love the idea of these little "medals" and i'm totally tempted to make Gretchen wear one that gives her name, her teachers name, and the fact that she won't be on a bus, but if she is on a bus, i'd totally write in the bus number so she doesn't end up on the wrong bus.
I may be paranoid.
I love the little bag of goldfish idea! I think this would be too cute to put in her lunchbox on the first day or to have it waiting for her when she comes home. Especially because she can't read yet!
And, let's not forget to make the teacher's first day at school a good one too! I think we'll put together a gift for all of the girls' teachers!
What are you planning on doing to make the first day back at school a great one?
