Max starts first grade

max has been back to school since late last week.  We were ready for school to start back up..  It isn't easy to keep a 6-year old busy and content over the entire summer between camps and vacation while mom and dad try to get all their work done.  I think max had pretty good summer overall but he too was ready to get back into the routine of school and to see his friends every day.  ms. pardini is his new teacher and max is really enjoying being a first grader.  The first couple of days, we walked him to the class room just as we did every day when he was in kindergarten.  However, as of first grade, the kids can be dropped off at the drop off area and that's what max wants us to do every day.  Just like the big kids.  he has home work every day and not monthly homework, as in kindergarten.  he has definitely been tired, especially this week, being the first full week back.  we are all happy it is friday and look forward to some extra sleep (wishful thinking..?) and an extra day off with monday being labor day.  needed!
