New School Year

When August arrives everyone knows that the new school year is just days away.   This year is no exception school started on the 11th and we are definitely ready.  The last couple of weeks have been really rough fighting off boredom and of course fighting with each other.  I was ready for everyone to get busy, make new friends, and have fun.

Early Thursday morning dawned and we are ready to start this year off right.  Scones for breakfast and of course pictures. 

3rd Grade with Mrs Guynn
He is so excited to get back to his friends and to
see Mrs. Guynn again.  She was his Kindergarten Teacher.

His class is in one for the portables and it is just inches away
from the playground.  It also has it's own water cooler with icy water.
He is all set for the new year.

6th Grade @ SRIS
She was really nervous dealing with new school, 6 teachers,
and 6 different rooms,.

Thank goodness for back to school night beforehand.  She was able to meet
all her teachers and find their classrooms.

She likes her teachers but isn't too sure of the whole PE thing.
She even aced the early start time of 7:45 AM.

9th Grade @ DHMS
She is officially a Freshman!!!  We aren't sure how this happened
but we will roll with it.

Actually, she has 2 first days since they have only 4 classes a day.
Not sure if the nerves were worse the first or second days.

We survived the first couple of days of school.  Know there are only 178 more days to get through.  I look forward to watching the kids learn new things, have new experiences, and meet new people.

There was a little sadness that summer ended way to fast.  I had to remind them that summer vacation was ending but summer is far from over.  There is a lot of fun still left to enjoy before it cools off.
