First weeks of School

I've seen many people blog about the first day of school but since I'm a little behind, I thought I would title mine the first weeks of school.  The kids are doing really well in school.  

Nicholas has a great teacher name Mr. Morris.  I think him and Nicholas will get along pretty well, he seems really great.  Nicholas is also excited about all the fun things that 5th graders get to do.  They get to start band or ochestra. (Nicholas has elected to play the viola and is really excited about it)  They also get to have "jobs" around the school and Nicholas was chosen to be one of the kids that gets to change the letters on the big reader board outside the school. He also gets to go to 5th grade camp at the end of the year.  It should be a very busy but exciting year.  I can't believe that he will start middle school next year.  AHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!

Lucy is also doing very well in school.  She is a 2nd grader in a 2nd/3rd grade split class.  Her teacher is Ms. Ferguson.  Nicholas had her as well and I really like her.  She is really going to challenge the kids this year with  a brand new math curriculum that only her class is doing.  They also get to do fun book projects and other fun things that Lucy wouldn't get in a normal 2nd grade class.  It is so good to know that she will continue to get an excellent education.

Noah started afternoon pre-K.  I love his school, Lucy went there for 2 years as well and I just can't say enough good things about them.  His teachers have commented several times on how well he is doing and how much he has changed over the summer.  Overall, it looks like we are off to a great school year!
