2011 Catch Up - September/First Day of School

Jack was an old pro and very excited for his first day of 4th grade.  His teacher is Mrs. Graybill.  She is fabulous and it has been a great year for him so far.  He has already participated in cross country and special choir.  He is getting all As, and thriving.

 I had to let the kids do a silly pose before I could get them to pose nicely.  They are such goofballs!

Sam started Kindergarten.  It was hard to believe that he had already gotten so big.  He was ready and very excited about it all.  We were thrilled to get Mrs. Sevedge who was also Jack's teacher.  She is amazing and we love her.  She loves my kids and gives them the best kindergarten experience imaginable.  In Post Falls (the city we live in), all of the kindergarten kids go to one school called the kindercenter.  It is so fun to see them every day, just as excited as the day before, with their giant backpacks flopping around on their backs.  They laugh and hug and chase each other until the doors are open.  Sam goes to the afternoon session and then rides the bus home to the elementary school.  Jack picks him up from the bus and they walk home together.  Sam is also doing great and continues to test right at the top.  He can read and write, and he does it all with a grin.
