Back to School

As always I'm behind in my blogging so here I am trying to play catch up once again.

Right after we got back from our Twin Falls trip Savannah and Ethan started school the following Monday (7/22). This year we are on B track which starts in July, has a long winter break (from Thanksgiving to New Years) plus a few other 2-3 week breaks in there and ends at the end of June. I know it's been a while since I posted because they were in school for 6 weeks and have already been off for 1 1/2 weeks for their first break.

Savannah is in fourth grade and has Mrs. Spencer. She is super nice and I am so glad Savannah got her this year after a very strict and not so fun teacher last year. I'm hoping Savannah will learn that school CAN be fun and she can do a good job with positive reinforcement.




















We were in such a hurry that morning that this was the only photo I could snap of Ethan. It's not that great but I was lucky to get that one!
Ethan is in first grade and has Mr. Wheeler. I was a little concerned before they started school because I didn't know much about him and Savannah said she thought he was mean. Well, I've been there a few times volunteering and I'm sure he's not mean at all. He seems like he does a good job and loves doing his job. This year Ethan's class has a "roving classroom" which means every 3 weeks as other classes go on and off track his class will move to an available classroom. I'm not sure how many kids there are at the school this year but I think there are about 7 first grade classes.

Just one and a half more weeks and it'll be like Back to School again for us!
