Today you are starting First Grade. You are definitely nervous as you tend to get with anything new you take on in life. However, I think there's a part of you that's also excited. You are worried about your new teacher and students in your class. However, I'm not worried because everyone will love you. It's amazing to me how much you have changed since the little girl I put on the bus just a year ago. You are growing up to be an amazing young lady. You are going to do so well in first grade because you will work hard. I look forward to seeing all you accomplish this year and can't wait to have you reading chapter books with me. You have already become such a good reader which started back in Kindergarten. Enjoy your day today and don't let the nerves get the best of you. I'll be waiting for big hugs and kisses when you get off the bus.
Love,
Mommy
