First Day of School 2011

Better late than never...right? The little people started school at the end of August. McKenna and Kylie are in 2nd grade and this is the first year that they are in seperate classes. I was pretty nervous at first, but it amazes me how right it has been for them.

Kylie has Mrs. Rydalch and so far loves her! She is a little older - meaning - this isn't her first or second year of teaching. So I guess I should say she is seasoned! Anyway, she really likes the artsy kind of way of teaching. Kylie eats that up. Kylie is a very creative person and loves to take her time to make things beautiful. It is so perfect for her personality and the way she learns!

McKenna has Mrs. Dennis and also loves her! The first day McKenna came home, she came with a monkey binder. Monkey is an acronym but basically it is a binder with different tabs and pockets. A spot for homework, things to keep at home, calendars, parent communication, etc. It is amazing. I love it and I love it for McKenna because it just helps to keep her a little more organized and on track.

Both of them have the perfect teachers for their personalities!

Tyler started at the middle school this year in 5th grade. How crazy of me to think. Anyway, there is only one middle school, so there are 6 elementaries that feed into this one school. I asked Ty how is first day was and if he knew anyone in his class. He doesn't have one person who went to Southfork in his class now.  However, it didn't bother him. He has Mrs. Lewis and has loved her from the first day! She is really into creative learning - and already Ty has been on a couple of different field trips, he loves science because of different experiments they've done, and she makes reading super fun and different. Ty has always loved reading, but loves it even more now!

I am just so grateful that it is starting to be an awesome school year. Love that they love going! Here's to another year!
