Carsten is a KINDERGARTENER. (be still my heart!) He is SOOOOO excited!
Willem is in 2nd grade. And not excited at all - you can tell by his face. ;)
Grace is in 4th grade. This is the first year she will have a male teacher which has her a little nervous, but he is an awesome teacher and we know she will love him.
I actually should be in this picture with them, because this is my first year at Calvin as well - I will be teaching 8th grade Geometry and PreCalc 3 mornings a week! I am excited and very nervous, but so grateful for this opportunity. I don't start teaching until tomorrow though, so today I can just be a mom. :)
Carsten and Mrs. Bierma
Willem and Ms. Walstra

(No, she wasn't THAT scared of having a male teacher, it just turned out that the nice photo I took of them was deleted somehow. She got over her nervousness in the first 15 minutes and he turned out to be one of her favorite teachers!)
Many families take pictures by the sign on the first day of school in the morning - we can't make that work, so we always stop after school and do it!
And finally, after school snacks with Mrs. Lynne (annual tradition) to tell her about their awesome days. Made extra special this year with the addition of Katie (Lynne's daughter) and Aahma! Aahma Bruin came for both Grace's and Willem's first days of kindergarten, so had to come for Carsten's too! She has fun sharing in the excitement, and is a wonderful distraction for those left at home (kids and momma ;)
