First day of school
This year was very different for me than years past. I feel like I am in school with all the anxieties that I have about my kids school. The district changed year round school and the change has made things different. First of all we did not know who the girls teachers were until last Friday. We normally know that at the end of the previous year. We thought we knew who Allison was going to have but the school had to make some last minute adjustments for the unexpected last minute enrollment. Second grade had way to many kids enrolled and they weren't quite sure what to do so the solution that they came up with was a 2nd/3rd grade combo class. Allison was chosen to be in this class. She is very excited about the new prospect but I think it might be going to her head. Kevin and I are very excited at the possibilities that this will open up for her. She is so passionate for learning and I love to watch her embrace it.
I have been very nervous all summer for the teacher that Madison was going to get. She had very strong feelings about one teacher that moved from 4th to 5th grade and I had heard some things that concerned me about another teacher. Madison ended up getting the teacher that moved from up from 4th grade and she was not happy. She worked with her in science last year and didn't like her. Kevin and I talked with Madison about having an open mind and going in with a good attitude. She came home today excited for this school year and really likes her teacher. This year is so important and I feel like it is going to be good for her. It makes me so happy that she took her our advice and is giving this a shot.
Ashley was still asleep when the girls left so when she woke up to a quiet house she was upset. She did not like the idea of the girls going back to school and leaving her home. It didn't take me long to change her mood because her friend Mikayla was coming over to play and she was so excited for that.
She had the best day playing with Mikayla. The house was a little quiet for me. They get along so well I hardly knew they were here. This is going to be a great year. The girls are going to do great in school and Ashley and I have so much to do here at home.
