We got the kids off to school without incident! I had totally run out of fun, creative, summer things to do, so I am sooooo ready for someone else to entertain....I mean educate my kids!
Saige is entering first grade. Her teacher, Mrs. Holland, is new to Smithville, but has taught for 10 years. She is moving up with almost all of the same kids that were in her Kindergarten class. This has helped a lot with the nervousness of a new grade. Several times she has said, " Since all the kids are the same, the only new thing is the teacher!" Saige has really developed a love of reading this summer, and her vocabulary has really grown. We have started reading our first chapter book together and she loves it, I think it makes her feel really BIG!
Micheala is entering kindergarten. Although our district has half day kindergarten, she will be going all day in order to get speech and physical therapy in the morning, then she'll go to a regular Kindergarten class in the afternoon. She has worked really hard this last year to try to get caught up. She can recognize every letter now and tell you what sound they make for the most part. We are still working on being able to write letters, but we'll get there soon!
