Back to School

Tanner and Savannah went back to school today.  5th and 2nd grade.  Man they are growing up to fast.  They are both really excited to be back in school.  Tanner got the teacher he has wanted since he was in 2nd grade.  Every year he would tell me he didn't care who he got that year for a teacher as long as in 5th grade he could get Mr Fox.  Well he got Mr Fox and he is thrilled about it.  He seems like a great teacher.  The classroom has desks but no chairs.  Tanner will get to sit on those big exercise balls all year long.  Fun for the kids but man if I were that teacher I probably would pop all the balls the first day because the kids were driving me nuts by playing with them instead of listening!  I really do admire most teachers and their patients.

Savannah has 2 teachers again since she is still in the Spanish class.  She is actually really good at understanding Spanish.  She doesn't speak it very well yet but she does know a lot of words.  She had 2 sets of homework to do when she got home.  She was really scared this year because her best friend just moved and wouldn't be in her class.  But she came home and said that she made a lot of new friends.  Kind of cute since they have had the same 50 kids in the Spanish classes since kindergarten :)  She is in the verde group which meets with the English teacher for the first half of school.  Then they switch to the Spanish teach who will hopefully only speak Spanish.  Last year Mrs Diaz slipped and talked English in front of one of the kids who then told everyone that she could speak some English.  She did a good job though and still only spoke English if it was an emergency. 

 Micah really doesn't like his car seat that much!

I hope they do great and really have a fun time learning,
