My Own Kids in School
Unfortunately, I forgot to take photos of my kids in uniform the first day of school, but a friend loaned me her camera, so I did take some, I just don't have them yet. I will ask my friend to e mail them and you will see them soon! Kaleigh is doing good, after the initial disappointment of not having the teachers she wanted, she settled into her class. There are a few good things, apparently this teacher got most of the laid back or "easy" kids (like Kaleigh), and no trouble makers. Also, this teacher has a neat end of the day treat if the kids get all their work done on Fridays , they get to sit anywhere in class, on a desk, under the desk, on a counter, wherever they want, take off their shoes and then read for the last 15 minutes of class. Kaleigh thinks that is pretty cool. So she is doing fine. Cole adores his teacher and he is doing really well with his coloring and his reading. He is probably reading better than 85%-95% of his classmates. He might be the only one that reads well. We are very proud! He seems to be following Mommy's footsteps in that regard! I have always loved reading! Kaleigh can't wait to get started on this years fundraiser. Magazine sales (yuck) and cookie dough sales (yum!) Last year her sales were the highest in the first grade! She sold 50 orders! Mostly cookie dough of course but some mags too. The cookie dough is actually really tasty and a lot of our friends from church have been asking when she will be selling again, so this year will be good too! So all is good school-wise for the kids!
