Chapter 4: First day of School
Chase was excited when he woke up. Today was August 16 2001. It was the first day of school and he and Spike were going to be starting kindergarten this year. Unlike his siblings who didn't want school to start so soon and wanted summer to last longer, a Chase couldn't wait for school to start. Spike would never admit it, but he was scared to start school. He wasn't as smart as his twin brother Chase. Sure he wasn't as dumb as Adam. But Mr. Davenport always made such a big deal about Chase being so smart.
Bree would be starting 2nd grade this year. Adam would be starting 3rd. Neither one of them wanted to go back to school. The only good thing was that today and tomorrow where going to be half days. So they only had to be at school till noon.
When they get to school Bree and Adam went to talk to their friends. They already know who their teachers where and which classrooms they would be in. They had been to meet the teacher night last week. Kindergarten teachers however waited until the first day of school to meet the students. Parents always walked their kindergartens to the class room on the first day, so it was easier to wait until then to meet them.
The classroom was bright and colorful. A huge chalkboard. A large book shelf. Lots of little desks and chairs just the right size for Chase, Spike and all the other little 5 year old kindergartens. Once he saw the twins where set, Mr. Davenport left to go back home and try to get some work done. As he was getting in his car he felt a tear in his eye. His youngest kids where grown up and in school now. It seemed like it was just yesterday they were learning how to walk. Now they're starting school really to take on the world.
I know it's not very long but with everyone either back to school already or starting soon, I wanted to write a chapter about the lab rats going to school. Not sure what the next chapter will be about or when I will post it.
