Clay in His Hands: 1st day of school

Pamela 4th grade
So the kids started the new school year today. We all went Thrus for a meet your teacher sort of deal and a in general session. Well they informed us school was to start on Friday. So after spending til afternoon at the school we rushed home to get bookbags out and basic supplies out and uniforms ironed and ready to go.
We thought school was suppose to start on Monday but little to our surprise it started today. Most of them have already come home with homework. Thankfully we have three days to get it all done. They do not go back to school till Tues.
