What a big change for all the kids this year! Garrett is now a junior at KGHS and Caroline started as a freshman! She is attending the Governor's School, which is housed in a wing of KGHS, and all of her best friends are in CGS as well. Caroline announced that high school is "overwhelming and intimidating" her first week, but now we're starting week #3 and I think it's getting a little easier for her. Yes, you read that correctly--week #3. Teachers reported back Aug. 8 and the kids showed up Aug. 15th! An early start but I won't be complaining on my last day of school May 22nd!
Emily started kindergarten in Mrs. Boyd's class and couldn't be happier! Her teacher's husband is the principal at the high school and he's highly respected and liked in the area. Mrs. Boyd seems pretty awesome as well and even called home last week to make sure that Emily is enjoying school.
Jason was in for a huge surprise this year as well. He started at the King George Preschool and attends their 4 day program. I was nervous on how he would do with all the changes at once (riding the school bus, taking a lunch box, playing with an entire class of kids, etc.) but he's doing great! His teacher, Ms. Jennette (yes, my former sister-in-law!) draws dinosaurs with him and says that he's really enjoying school (we stayed friends and I get text updates on Jay every week). On the second day of school, I woke up Jason and told him that we needed to get ready to go. He said, "To Mum Mum's house?" and I said "Yes, but we have school today too". Jay jumped up and said "You mean I get to go back?!?! Whooopeeee!". He was so excited that school wasn't a one-time thing! And when I picked him up that afternoon he said "Guess what?! Ms. Jennette was my teacher again too!" I think it might take a week or two before Jason gets the concept of "school" understood completely :)
