BACK TO SCHOOL!

The kids started back to school this past Monday (and so did I) and they LOVE their classes and teachers.
Shaelyn: I cannot believe she is in the 6th grade and is an official Middle Schooler. At her school, 6th-8th grade is considered Middle School. I am so sad, but I know it is just another amazing chapter in our lives. Her biggest fear as a Junior High student was forgetting her locker combination. She has done great with her locker and has even done a wonderful job decorating it. She rotates all subjects and teachers this year, has a seminar class, bible class, regular subjects and electives. She had to teach me how to read her VERY CONFUSING schedule! My prayer for her this year is that she has an amazing journey and always puts the Lord first!
Carson: Our official 1st grader. He could not be a luckier boy to have his kindergarten teacher move up with him to first grade. He loves her and school so much. He was just tested on reading after a few days in class and is reading above a 3rd grade level. Math testing is next week...good luck BIG man! Carson is so excited about his new "smart board" in his room and he can't wait for all the learning to take place...he is like a little sponge!!!! My prayer for him this year is to continue his walk with Jesus...what a prayer warrior he is!
Me: I started my second year of teaching Kindergarten at the kids school (my 9th year of teaching) and I love it! I have 14 sweet students and wonderful parent support. I am looking forward to an incredible year and the amazing plans that God has for me and my students.
