Wow it's been along time. Been a VERY busy start of the school year. Both girls have started dance (2 different days), C has started soccer (which is twice a week) and Av has horse still and she will be starting Girls Scouts with her bff Caroline. So it's fun but almost every night of the week is filled with activities. I have also been thrown right in to the PTA. I joined the board and I had to be there 2 nights last week and 2 this week. Along with every am after preschool drop off to help with the upcoming walk-a-thon. So we are busy busy busy but it's great.
School is going well for Av. She loves it!!! She got a teacher this year we were not so pleased that we got. She is just known to be "mean." That's her reputation among the kids and parents of the school. I was sooooo mad when we got her. So far it's been pretty okay though. Av is happy. What more can I ask for? She says they sing and they have made 2 puppets out of paper bags that they are using for a poem. So sounds okay to me. My few dealings with the teacher have been positive. The more I hear about her I learn that the kids are kind of scared of her but end up really liking her. She is not great with the parents but that's okay with me. The kids coming out of her classroom have very strong acidemics so I guess it's all good. Av's school bff is not coping well in the classroom so she might be moved out of it which is sad but life. They have gotten really close and we have vowed to get them together weekly out of school. Last week we had dinner with them on Sunday and this week Noelle is here playing as we speak. She got a 100% on her first spelling test and her work is coming home looking good. I wrote a quick note the other day saying, "How is Avery doing?" The note I got back said, "She is trying very hard and doing her best." At first I was a little put off. Well okay but is her best good or bad or what? But after thinking on it I realized that all I want from Av is that she is trying hard and all I can ask is that she does her best. If her teacher is seeing that out of her then I am happy!!!! She is getting help daily from a resource teacher in her classroom as are others in her room. So far we are really happy. Av is riding the bus both ways and is on the bus for about 25 min in am and 25 in pm. MUCH better than last year. She has really gotten to know the neighborhood kids and most Fridays they run the neighborhood together. It is really fun. We LOVE the new house.
C is loving school. No more fights about going like last year. She loves her new friends and talks about them all the time. She can't wait to invite them to her party. She seems to be doing very well too.
E is doing better. Still cries at drop off but seems to settle down and let himself have fun.
