Lauren started school this year. She was so excited to be able to buy school supplies and do something like her big sisters. On her first day she was full of emotions. At the end of the day she came running out with a BIG smile. I asked her what was her favorite thing and she said, "we had three recesses!"
Paige is now in 3rd grade. She got the teacher that she wanted and is doing really well in school. She was chosen to be a ASB representative. This made her really excited because she was picked by her classmates.
Brianna had an interesting situation to deal with when she started. Her school decided to have a split level class because of the large number of 5th graders. She was put in a 4/5th grade class along with 10 other 5th graders and 12 or so 4th graders. Having the same teacher she had last year was not something she was thinking was cool. In some ways she was wondering why she was picked to be in this class. To be honest so were we as her parents. After a lot of talking with administration and her teacher we learned that it was because the teacher wanted to have the best kids and know where she could continue on with their teaching from last year. One of the perks is that Brianna will be able to go on all of the 4th and 5th grade field trips. She gets to attend some of the classes in the other 5th grade class rooms. After lots of talking she decided to stay in the combined class. It seems to be going well. Brianna also got contacts this summer. What do you think?
Shane really wanted to get a picture of these three walking to school. It will be the only year that they will all be in the same building. Sad huh!!! :(
