Back to School

School started on Monday for all three kids. Ethan started at a new school (junior high) while Isaac and Piper returned to their same schools. Piper had a rough first day. Her beloved teacher from last year (see photo) was reassigned to a different group of children so Piper had some adjustment issues today as she met with her new teacher. She should be set into her new routine in a couple of weeks.

Isaac is now a second grader. He has many of the same kids in his class from last year, including his friend (and our next door neighbor) Justin. Isaac is excited about school lunches, which include chocolate mike and an incentive program that his new teacher has developed which will allow him to earn candy bars for achieving different tasks.





Ethan had a difficult time opening his locker today. In fact, he wasn't able to get it opened at all. He carted his school supplies around with him all day in a backpack. He will be going in early tomorrow to practice the nuances of combination-lock-operation. Ethan reported to me that he likes his teachers and he is excited to be with the older kids and to have the additional responsibilities that come with junior high. He won't admit it to me, but Tessie heard that he has a cute girl in one of his classes that he has got his eye on. We will keep you posted as that develops.



Enjoy the pictures that Tessie took as she dropped the kids off at their schools.
