Last night was Meet the Teacher night at Benjamin's school. Her name is Ms. Rue. This is her first year teaching first grade! Benjamin was sort of shy, but I know he will warm up. It was a very overwhelming night with parents, teachers, students, and siblings running everywhere. I assured Benjamin that it will be much different on Monday! Benjamin did warm up enough to be able to completely relax next to books!
One really nice thing about this year is that he gets to be in the same class with his friend Amara. Amara is the sweet little girl in the neighborhood that runs and plays with all of our boys! Benjamin is happy she is in his class. At the moment all of the children are seated alphabetically. Ms. Rue said that if the children obey the rules and do their work well, that one of their rewards is being able to move and sit with a friend....provided that the child and that friend don't cut up together. Luckily, neither Amara nor Benjamin are the "cut up" type.
Last night Benjamin prayed for Ms. Rue to be a happy teacher and to be able to get all of her work done. Please pray for his transition to this new school and that it will go well. Please pray for his new teacher as well!
Wow! First grade already!

You forgot to say, "and please pray for his mom too!" :)
Wow. She does look pleasant. I'm sure it'll be a great year for him.
