Look Out 1st Grade........

Here comes Jacob, or should I say JB.... thats what he recently told us we COULD call him. "You call me Jake and Jay a lot, Mom. So it's either Jacob or..... JB. You can call me JB for now on."

So he started FIRST GRADE this past week (which I can't believe) and the first day came with some pleasant surprises. We searched through the class lists to find that, not only is Emma in his class (his best friend:), but his teacher is Miss Cole again!!! She was his teacher last year and she moved up to teach 1st grade this year. His class is also very small - only about 11 or 12 kids, which we are very excited about. Reading and math will be individualized for each child, so if he continues to do so well with his reading, he'll be able to keep moving up levels. He got a "smiley face" every day this week and came home in a great mood, so we are hoping for a great, successful year :)
