New School Year

A new school year is upon us.  The kids started school this week.  It has been fantastic, but this first week feels like it has been a whole month!  Lots of new routines, early mornings, to-do lists, new classrooms and the list goes on.  

Jaxton is a big 5th Grader in Upper Elementary at Oak Farm.  He is in the same class as last year.  His teachers are Jamie, and this year, Kyle Black, who he knows from before as a PE substitute teacher and front desk guy.  It looks like it will be a great year!  He's looking forward to math to see how far he can excel.  And he has goals set to stay organized and be able to manage a bigger workload this year.  

Cooper is moving up to Upper Elementary this year with teachers Macy & Sandra.  They seem fantastic and Cooper is so excited to move up with the bigger kids and to move on from the younger ages of Lower Elementary.  He's anxious to make new friends and get involved!

Kaylee has moved up from Primary and is attending Lower Elementary with teachers Meghan & new teacher Abby.  Meghan was Cooper's teacher for 3 years and we love her.  And Abby was Jaxton's teacher last year and she's moved to Lower Elementary this year.  Both are fantastic teachers.  She was pretty nervous the first day, but after that worrisome morning, she has had a big smile on her face everyday this week and no trace of tears.  I think she loves being with bigger kids too!

Dawson started school this year too.  He is a second year in Primary, which is the equivalent to Pre-K.  He has been so anxious and excited to start school, he could hardly wait!  When finally it is his turn to really go to school, he has loved every minute of it!  Big smiles on his way out the door and big smiles on his way home.  One thing he has been most excited for is riding the bus!!  He loves it!
