Teacher Appreciation

Cole and I went to meet his teacher and see his classroom one morning about a week before school started. While we waited in the hallway for everyone to get there, my little boy held my hand tight and I had tears in my eyes while thinking that the past 3.5 years had gone by much too quickly.

I kept reminding myself that he would be fine, he is a friendly little guy and he showed no signs of fear or anxiousness when it came to starting school.

Thankfully, we weren't kept waiting long and my mind was set at ease when the two teachers introduced themselves to us. They gave each student a little plastic bag with a note and some special items inside it.




As soon as I started to read this, I got tears in my eyes again (emotional much?). The note was so sweet and each item was a perfect addition to the little package. While Cole showed interest in all of the little items in the bag, I truly appreciated the note that came with it all. It is such a sweet gesture and it helps to reassure me that Cole is in great hands each and every day.

I can't believe he's in kindergarten already! Memphis just started and he's almost 6 and that was hard!! ;)
He'll do fine! You've raised a great little guy! :)

Kindergarten is such a huge step for not only our children but us as Mommy's too! I hope your little boy is loving it! My little girl is having a blast meeting new friends and learning! She even wakes up at night to question me over the alphabet! haha!

Super cute! I had no idea about these first day gift exchanges till a couple teacher friends told me about it.
