The Saturday before school began we had a "Family Fun Day".
We did do some work on the yard and in the house during the morning, but after lunch we went to our favorite swimming pool, went to a restaurant for dinner, then finished off our night with a movie at home.
Two days later Kaylee, Ashlyn & Brenna headed off to school.
Everyone (including Mom!) was very excited.
Brenna is FINALLY in Kindergarten.
Her teacher is Mrs. Cunningham. She just graduated from Texas A&M last Spring, so she's as green as they come. Hopefully she'll bring lots of great new ideas to her classroom, and be able to corral a room full of rambunctious kiddos.
Ashlyn is in 3rd Grade this year.
Her homeroom teacher is Mrs. Porrata, which is the same teacher Kaylee had in 2nd Grade. Ashlyn only spends 1/3 of each day in homeroom though. The 3rd graders rotate between 3 different teachers. I'm hoping this "switching" schedule will help my talkative, busy girl stay on task. :)
Kaylee is ruling the school with the other 5th Graders this year.
Her homeroom teacher is Mrs. Gallego. The 5th Graders also rotate between 3 different teachers each day. Kaylee LOVES that the teachers are being more strict with the kids this year to help prep them for middle school next year.
I drive the girls to school in the morning, then they all walk home together in the afternoon.
And this little cutie is doing Mommy preschool with some of our friends from church Mondays and Wednesdays from 9:00 - Noon.
She and I are both loving this schedule. :)
The first 3 weeks have been filled with a few scraped knees, complaints about homework, marks for too much talking, and potty accidents (ahem . . . McKell) but overall everyone is happy and everything is going well!
They are all so cute. Glad you were able to have a family fun day. They make the routine days worth it. Love you
