Today was the first day of school. Notice their excitement on their face. Marlie does not start until next week. She cried all day today saying, "I don't have anybody to play with." Poor girl, she forgot what it was like to be home alone.
Caden is going into the accelerated 6th grade class. He said that he loved it. He said that it is going to be a lot of fun. I am a little nervous about the homework aspect. His teacher told him he would have at least 1 hour of homework each night as well as reading time. Since he gets home from school at 4:oo and football starts at 6:00, I am wondering where it is going to fit in.
Hailee is going into the 4th grade. Her teacher is Mr.Partridge. She is a little nervous because she has never had a male teacher before. I told her she would be just fine. She wanted me to trim her hair. Of course I put if off until this morning.(The morning school starts) She wanted me to cut it to her shoulders. I told her I would not. So we compromised. I cut off about 6 inches. After she looked in the mirror she wished she had not cut it. She told me after school that she is getting used to it. I think aunt Jody may need to fix the layers I tried to put in it.
Kale is going into the 2nd grade. He was nervous about school because he is afraid he is going to get made fun of. When I asked him how it went today he said it was GREAT!! He really loves his teacher. She seems to have the energy to keep up with him. He was sad that neither of his 2 good friends were in his class with him. I found out today that they purposely separated all 3 of them. This came from the suggestion of their teacher last year. I guess it was a little rough on her. She was great with them but they keep their class "lively."
