Back to Class! I've been out of the classroom for three years. Let me tell you it was an adjustment going back. So much to get ready. But now I'm in the groove and I have some cute bulletin boards to prove it

Back to School

 

Owen is very excited to have a male teacher and we are thrilled that he will be in Mr. Hoover's class this year! 

Griffin is a SK in Mrs. Wright's class again this year and very thrilled to have her again!  Griffin was a little nervous and wasn't really ready to go back.  I had to stay with him for awhile until he settled in and realized he was the big kid this year in his class!

When is Summer??

Packing lunches, ironing clothes, skating lessons, drop offs, neighbourhood hibernation
all of these things make me want summer back!

I miss the carefree days of waking up and wondering what we would do today: the beach, the library, playing with friends, plain old summer fun!

Owen has had a rocky start with his new school on his off days from kindergarten. It has been heartbreaking having him cry and worry about having to go. We thought he was missing his friends and old sitter, but today Owen was able to tell his teacher that he didn't like his new school because he didn't know what to do like at his regular school. It never once crossed my mind that after being in junior kindergarten for a year it might be difficult for him to settle into a montessori setting. Rest assured, after a very difficult morning, and Owen being carried in by his teacher, he as able to make a turn around and come home a happy boy! One great thing about his new school is "Comet" the gerbil or as Owen first called it "the german".

Back to School




















Not that there isn't a million things to do on the first day back to or a flush of emotion, but I couldn't pass up the opportunity to snap a shot of the boys ready to go back to Nancy. They were both looking very cute in their new sweatshirts and backpacks.





















These two little guys are becoming really good buddies. Owen makes it his job to take care of his little brother especially at daycare where the other little ones like to take a bite of my two. Owen knows to tell the kid biting Griffin to "Stop, your hurting my brother", and then go get Nancy.




















Griffin was so proud to put on a backpack just like his big brother.
