First Day of 1st Grade

Nate started 1st grade on August 11th. He was so excited to start school this year! He knew lots of kids in his class already (several from the ward, his kindergarten class, and 2 from his soccer team) and that seemed to help a lot. He's excited about his new teacher, Ms. Franco. They have a hamster and a turtle in their class and that was a huge hit at Meet the Teacher Night. He's learning so much already and has come out of his shell a lot since kindergarten. Although no smile, we have to have the traditional bench photo.

His very own desk (last year they had tables)!! Jack was showing him his name.

There he is across the room on the first day, ready for us to go so he could get started. He let us walk him to class the first couple days, but then he wanted to go by himself.
