First Week of School! Grade 6th, 3rd and 1st

The kids started school with a weird 2 hour day (something the county schools do.) They had the next day off and then went for a full day. I took pictures both days. Since moving the kids are in completely new schools and don't know a soul.

The 2 hours day... first up is our 6th grader. Yes, we have middle schooler. Yes, we still can't believe it. She was really excited and I have to give her credit. I would have been a nervous wreck. Well, maybe I wasn't at that age. I don't really remember.

And her new school shoes. Because, new shoes are always important!

And Will who is in 3rd grade this year.

And Tyler who is in 1st.

Bright orange shoes just fit his personality, don't they? He was so excited about them. Although we think they might be a tad too small. Grrrr....

We dropped Amy off at her school with shouts of "Good Luck!" and "We love you!" Then drove over to the boys school to meet their teachers.

Will's teacher is Mrs. Keel. She's from South Africa, which is really cool. We actually have a few small connections to her with is fun. And she graduated from Kennesaw State University (where I graduated from!) It's rare to find that around here.

Tyler's teachers is Ms. Windrow. This is her 1st year teaching so it'll be fun to see how that goes!

On the first full day of school I attempted pictures again. I guess I got distracted after Amy because I don't have single shots of the boys.

This was the first year that we just dropped the boys off at the door. And it's a new school so they have no idea where anything is (we don't either.) I was nervous Tyler would clam up and not talk to a teacher so I gave him a sticker that said "Please deliver to Ms. Windrow."

The play set has been one of the best things about this house. Most mornings the kids play for a few minutes before taking off (Lee drops them off.) 

After a few acrobatic moves they were on their way. They all said they had a the best first day. Amy is so excited about having a locker that she said during one break, she just went to it and stared at it. She's so funny.

The boys haven't given too many details, but they both seem to enjoy their teachers and their new school. I'll start volunteering soon and maybe substitute a little bit. That will help me learn a little about the school as well. We are exploring new places this year! So far it's going pretty well!
