First Day

5th Grade
Loved seeing friends from last year. Her homeroom teacher is also the science teacher and she has bugs on display & lots of scientific items floating in jars. She is excited to have a different teacher for each subject. Loved her reading teacher & the book she is reading out loud. Taking lunch from home every day. Yay!
 
2nd Grade
Her best friend is in another class, but she was happy to see some familiar faces in her class. She is the only one with homework for the first week & she is enjoying spelling. Also started practice with her soccer team {Violet Vultures} after the first day of school.
8th Grade
He didn't let me take a picture on the first day, but I talked him into it on the 2nd. Has been pretty tight-lipped, but is enjoying his classes & was nominated to be vp of one particular class. Letting him go his own way is sometimes hard as a parent, but understanding his choices is the best way to support him. He is growing up too fast. He has taken on more responsibility at home, and it has been a good start to a great year.

Syd & Ella start an hour before Christian and he was in the shower when they were ready to leave. So no pictures of them all together.

The girls ride their scooters, and I walked with them the first day. I could have jumped on Christian's scooter, but I crashed on it earlier this year so I stay off that thing. Parents were walking kids all the way into their classrooms, so I took full advantage of the photo opportunities. Sydnee requested no photos in the classroom. Just by the door is fine.

I also loved meeting their teachers, since Craig took them to Meet The Teacher night before school started. I was out of town. They are off to a great start!
