Today was "Meet your Teacher Day" at Micah's new school-Iroquois Point Elementary School (IPES). We left the house at 6:50 am and arrived at school at 7:25 am. Until we move in October it will be a drive I will make 4 times a day bringing Micah and picking him up.
Micah said he was nervous but it seemed more like a nervous excitement. We had a meeting in the caferteria first where the principal talked and she introduced all the staff. Micah was very excited when his teacher walked up on the stage, Mrs. Hudson. He thought her name was cool, like Doc Hudson from the movie "Cars".
After the meeting we were invited to go to the classroom and meet his teacher and put his supplies away. She seemed very nice and one thing that impressed me is that former students and parents were stopping by to come and say hi-that is evidence of a teacher that is loved and well liked. Micah has 13 girls in his class and 7 boys! He was excited when he saw that she had toys in the room and she told him that when they finish work they sometimes have time to play. He was also excited because on the daily schedule it said that they have Science and he decided over summer break that he wants to be a Scientist when he grows up!
After the classroom we visited some booths that were set up and Micah told me that he would like to try Boy Scouts. They can start in first grade. So I signed him up. Darrick was in Boy Scouts...he will be so proud!
Then we bought him a red school shirt that they wear every Wednesday for School Spirit day!
It was a really positive experience and he said he is excited to go to school tomorrow!

That all sounds awesome! What an exciting time for Micah. He doesn't seem to be having any anxiety anymore. A new school, Boy Scouts...he seems to be doing so great! Praise God!
