Meeting your Teacher, even if it's the wrong one...

Today was the big "Meet Your Teacher" day at White Oaks. Very chaotic as they have EVERYONE come in a 1 hour time slot to not only find out who's in what class but meet the teachers, turn in supplies, sign up for stuff, etc... I don't particularly like the format but it's important to Annde so we go. She got up 2 hours early this morning because she was so excited. She wanted Ms. Austin and to be with Delaney, Megan C, and Sophie. What she got was Ms. Barrow and NONE of her friends. They are all in Ms. Austin's class. Instead, she got Anthony (her love-hate relationship) and a nice new girl, Ashley, to sit next too. I quit taking pictures at this point because it broke my heart to see her tears.

Anywho - before we took a couple of shots around the school. Annde's always up for an impromptu modeling session.
Here's her in front of the school...
... And sitting on the little bench in front of the school. (Love those weeds!)
And right next to the front door...
This is Delaney - her BFF. They are so cute together!!
Even if they are super silly most of the time...
I hope that this year goes better than expected. I wasn't too impressed the interaction so far with her teacher. Annde's performs wonderfully and above expectations when she's in a warm environment with an encouraging teacher, like Ms. Atkinson and Ms. Silva from last year. Ms. Barrow is not that kind of teacher (found out from other parents who had her last year). Ms. Barrow also doesn't seem to be too excited she's teaching 1st grade instead of 3rd grade. I am not too happy that her class is in the 2nd/3rd grade pod instead of the K/1st grade pod where the other 2 are. Hopefully they will correct that so that Annde gets to see her friends a bit more often. It might be a very long year...
