Belle let me curl her hair this morning! Amazing!!Anyway, the kids started school on August 25, 2010. Tre is in 6th grade. Belle is in 2nd. They were both super excited to start. Belle loves learning and Tre loves seeing his friends everyday. And I was excited that they started in the new school this year. Instead of a 15-20 minute bus ride into Highland, they now have a 10 minute walk to get to school. Buses always make me nervous (No seatbelts!? Getting stuck in the snow!? Not knowing if they make it on time and safely!?). Well, you get my point. So now I can walk my kids from our house to their classroom door in the morning and pick them up the same way in the afternoon. I'm really gonna love this!
Belle's teacher is Mrs. Smith. Belle got a kick out of this. She seems super nice and fun. And Belle says she is as nice as Mrs. Lefler (her 1st grade teacher) whom Belle LOVED. She knows some kids in her class and feels pretty happy about that.
Tre has Mrs. Mendenhall. She was a teacher at Ridgeline and moved to the new school to teach. She's got lots of experience and has seemed to have an impression on Tre already. He talks about rules and what is expected of him and how important reading at home and homework are. He feels nervous about this, but is ready for a challenge.
And this is the view from the top of our mountain on my walk I took after dropping the kids off at school. There are some good things about school starting. Although I am really sad not to be able to play all day with my kiddos. I always feel a little depressed when they go back. Summer has been so fun and busy and now I must find other things to occupy my time. :(
