Back to School!

Today is our first day back, and there were many mixed emotions.  Some were happy, but most were nervous.  We went through our school supplies, and got everything sorted; then, we drank jitter juice. The jitter juice made us feel much better about 1st grade.  The jitter juice took away all of our nerves, and now we are SUPER excited about 1st grade!!
