School Update

I know I said I would update you all about the first day of school weeks ago but life happens and boy it sure has been happening around here. The girls have been in school for 3 weeks now and they both are just loving it.

Kaitlyn's teachers name is Mrs. Blackwell. She just loves her. There is a lot of order and the expectations are laid out very well. Something Kaitlyn thrives on. She has joined band this year and is still playing the flute. She also decided to put in an application for Student Council. She had to write and "essay" on why she wants to be apart of it and what she could bring to the Council. There were 22 kids who applied and only 12 were chosen. Kaitlyn is one of them. They had their first meeting last week and she is SO excited about it. We are SO proud of her and are just loving how she is growing up and maturing. These are wonderful experiences that will take her far in her life.

Grace's teachers name is Mrs. Smegal. We had heard she is pretty tough, something we think Grace really needs. She will be challenged this year. But I have realized her teacher is not tough, she just sets the bar a little bit higher to help the kids achieve at a larger standard. Something Grace has not encountered yet. Kaitlyn had a teacher like this in 4th grade and it really set the standard for her and so we are very excited to see what this year holds for Grace. Grace has joined Choir for the 2nd year and is VERY excited about hockey starting in the next week or so.

I have to say the girls are doing very well so far in school. They both come home and usually sit down to do homework. Something they decided on their own. It quite amazes me but hey I'm not complaining!

So that is our update on school. Lots more has happened in the last few weeks so I will update as time allows me to. So keep watching!
