The Night Before First Grade

I can't believe that summer is already over.  Today, we marked the end of summer with our traditional Last Day of Summer pool party with our neighbors.  It seems like yesterday that we had our last day of school party.  It has been a fabulous summer spending time with my kids. Jackson will start first grade tomorrow, and Lauren has already started Pre-K.  Wow!  Time flies.  It is an interesting feeling knowing that my baby boy will be starting the grade that I taught for several years.  I couldn't be more excited for him to become a fluent reader and to learn the basics of math calculations this year.

To mark this fun time in their lives,  I thought I would conduct a quick interview to record some of the kids thoughts and memories.  I typed exactly what they said, so here are their words:
