Today was meet the teacher day at Olive Chapel Elementary. Joseph will be starting the 2nd grade tomorrow(!) and his new teacher is Mr. Durham.
Yup! A male 2nd grade teacher. This will be a good thing, (I think) for him. Mr. Durham seems very nice and Joseph seemed to like him ok during our quick introduction.
While we were at the school, Joseph showed off his little sisters to everyone too. That included Barbara Cooper, a new teacher to OCE, but a lady we know from Brooks Ave. She taught Joseph in Sunday school for a year and he really liked her, so it was kind of a bummer not to get her as his teacher.
He also went and saw Mrs. Scala and Mrs. Walsh, who, as they put it, “waited all year long for these babies”. And, we saw Ms. Caggia, Ms. Vodnicker and several other teachers that Joseph knows and has met over the last 2 years.
We’ll see how this year goes!
