Back in School

Brooklyn's first day of school was Wednesday, August 26th.  She was very excited to get back to school at Galileo.  Her 3rd grade teacher is Ms. Unger.  She wants to be a teacher when she grows up, she loves to read, especially books by Roald Dahl, and her favorite thing to eat is tacos.  She spent a lot of her summer reading tons of books and she was very good about doing her workbook everyday to keep up her skills.  She was very excited to start learning cursive and loves to work on her multiplication.  She is a great student and will have such a great year.

 Since McKay's birthday is so late in the summer, we decided to keep him in preschool for one more year.  He was more than ready socially, academically, and emotionally for kindergarten, but we figured that it wouldn't hurt to have him the oldest rather than the youngest in his class.  I think it was also a little bit of selfishness on my part, wanting to keep him around for another year.  He was very excited to start school up on Monday, August 30th.  His teacher is Mrs. Steele at Bright minds Preschool, which is in a cute old farmhouse that has cows, chickens, goats, dogs and cats.  He was all smiles heading to his first day and didn't even want me to walk him up to the door and when he got home from school he lost his 2nd tooth.  He says he wants to be a garbage man when he grows up, he loves to run and play sports, his favorite food is Ramen Noodles and his favorite book is Spiderman.  He is a great kid and I'm sure will be a pleasure to have in class.  I'm sure that both kids will have a great year and I am excited to see how much they learn and grow.
