2011-2012 School Year Begins

This morning we started another year of school! Trevor is off to 7th grade while Emily and Erin went to the 4th grade classroom at a new school. Trevor was pretty nervous and has been working hard to memorize his schedule before school started but put it in his pocket for safe keeping! He was pretty excited about having gym as his first class today, though! Emily was excited to start a new school year in a new school but with a familiar teacher. Erin has been very keyed up and nervous about the change but hopefully she will sleep better tonight after the first day is behind her!
Yesterday afternoon I got a call asking me to be a long-term substitute for a teacher's aide at the elementary school. The hours aren't ideal but I will try to make them work with the hope that something more permanent may open up. I will be working from 7:30-8:15 watching over the morning recess and then return from 10:50-12:50 doing lunch & recess for 2nd grade/5th grade. The kids were thrilled as that means that they ride to school with me (NO BUS RIDE!) and Trevor walks from there with a friend that lives very close to the elementary school.
Have a great year, kids! We love you tons!
