1st day of school

Jumping ahead from vacation and back I guess because my kids have been in school for a month.

I now have a 3rd grader and a Kindergartener as well as a Pre-schooler. Oh and one homeschooler (he's only 1)

 

 

Lucas is SOOOOOO excited to go to school. He's gotten 3 stamps almost every day!!!! He has Mrs. Brookshire and he is lovin' school! He's done so well and loves all of his new friends. Only one incident so far that required a call from the teacher and VP. I pulled him from school that day because he was just a mess - my poor baby. He came home, took a nap and we started over the next day. It was an accident that involved scissors and a small scratch on his 'partner' (kid who sits next to him). He wrote a letter to his teacher and to Joel. And even though he made a small mistake, his teacher still thinks he's a great kid and loves having him in class. It's good to have teachers who care and understand. It's going to be a good learning experience for all of us.

He is color blind, so we're learning quickly how to read the labels on the crayons so he can get the right colors.

 

 

 Lea is in 3rd grade with Mrs. Wendling. It's fast paced at their school and they didn't waste any time getting back into homework. Now we need to work on turning in that homework, we spend so much time on. Spelling and phonograms are very easy for her. Reading comprehension, not so much. Neither is it for Jeff or I.  But we work on it together and muddle through. Math is fun for all of us - sort of. :)

 Jeff was able to come and be a part of their first big day. Then joined other kinder parents at the 'Boo Hoo Breakfast'. Had some yummy food and headed out

I went to the store and this was such a huge moment for me.......ONLY 2 kids!!!

 They both ride the bus home. I made them promise to sit next to each other because last year Lea was the only one of her friends that didn't have a sibling to sit by. So they get to this year. 

It was extremely quiet the first day I almost forgot I had kids in the house. Abbey missed her buddies and so did Ammon. Lucas asked me several times if Ammon missed him. Yes, yes he did. :)

I also got  'Mom, I gonna miss you'. I'm gonna miss you to bud.

They are SOOOOO exhausted when they get home, but we make it work. I'm so glad they each have excellent teachers. I'm grateful they work so hard to help my kids succeed. We're very proud of you both!!
