School Starts in 4 Days

I can't believe the school bell will ring in only 4 days.  My oldest will start middle school. I'm not worried about him.  He is a good kid and is very smart.  The adjustment will be a little rough for both of us, but he'll be okay.  I am sure of that.  My youngest will be starting the first grade.  She got the very best teacher and I have no doubt she will have a successful year.  Rebecca will be starting the fourth grade.  I am scared to death!  I remember the fourth grade from a few years ago.  My son had the same teacher Rebecca has.  She is great!  But, it's a tough year.  Lots of homework.  Lots of reports.  Lots of projects.  Lots of reading.  Rebecca is bright and loves to learn.  I hope this year won't squash that.  I worry about her.  She already doesn't like school much.  She doesn't think she is smart.  She doesn't have many friends.  I can only hope we start this year strong.  I have new organizational ideas to help keep her on track.  And I have considered requesting little or no homework to help her through.  We'll see how it goes.  I know I need to take a step back and just see how it goes...  At least for a few days.
