Thursday the kids got to meet their teachers! We have known since the last day of school who they would get- and have been super excited all summer about this! I have been praying for these ladies all summer- they will be such an influence in my kids' lives! I really feel blessed to have such wonderful and caring ladies helping guide Adeline and Alden! It's going to be a great year- one that stretches us all, but will have a good outcome.
Alden got Mrs. Mountcasel. She is simply wonderful! I really think she will be good for Alden. The theme in her room is baseball- how much more perfect can that be for my baseball-loving boy?! She also has lots of experience of working with reluctant readers- that's Alden again! He is excited to be in her class- and we are excited for this journey we will all take together!
Adeline has Mrs. Blevins this year! The Perreca and Blevins' families will be incredibly close this year. Mr. Blevins teachers across the hall from me (Lisa) and I have their middle daughter in my math class! Good thing we think highly of each other! Adeline was excited to see a few friends in her class- her main bff, who she has been class with since Goddard, is not in her class. While she was sad about this, it has been an excellent life-lesson- which is one of the key reasons why we send our kids to school. Already Adeline is busy working on The Scorpion Challenge (90 questions that must be researched and then recorded in a notebook), and her poster about herself. I love that she is already motivated to work so hard and the school year hasn't even started yet!
