1st Grade

 4th Grade

Catchin' Up

No more lazy days of summer around here......school and fall activities are in full swing!  

Everyone seems to be loving school.  Hannah and Griffin are really liking their 1st grade teacher. They are making lots of friends, and every day they have something fun to tell me about what they've learned. It's been all smiles, no tears, so I take that as a good sign :-)  

Abby likes her 4th grade teacher, too.  This is the year the kids start going from room to room for different classes, so she is having fun with that.  So far she likes all her classes.  She is bummed they have library only one day a week. If she had her way, she would be up there every day :-)  (side note, the kids have to read 100 minutes a week for homework. they turn in their reading sheets every Monday. Abby read 460 minutes this week......not counting the time she reads in the car, to and from school :-)  There is more homework than she is used to, but she isn't complaining. She's a busy bee....homework, saxophone practice and skating 3 days a week, but she loves it.  

Hannah has started back at gymnastics and LOVES it. She is at a different gym than last year and is loving the new teacher and all the girls in her class.  Griff started back at hockey and will be playing 2 times a week soon.  They both will start swimming again towards the end of October.  

I haven't been taking many pictures lately - my subjects are in school all day now :-)  Below are some from the last couple of weeks.  I'll post school pictures soon, too!  Enjoy!

Hannah and Griff got sunflower seeds from their teacher towards the end of Kindergarten.  We planted them and watched them grow all summer!

Playing Mario Kart......

HOCKEY!  Griff's in the white helmet, yellowish jersey......

1st Day of School

1st and 4th grade. Abby informed Mike and me this was the last year we could walk her in.....5th graders DON'T have their parents walk them in. Luckily we still have a few more years with H&G :-)

All smiles this morning.....can't wait to hear about their days!

No picture of Abby at her dest. THAT stops at 4th grade :-)

Last Day of Summer FUN

Last day of summer. Will miss it. We had a blast. Mike and I took the kids to Valley Fair for a re-do of last week. Lots of fun and lots of pictures. Will post those tomorrow while the kids are at school ALL DAY LONG.
