School has Begun


I can’t believe the boys almost have their first week of school completed. Jack started Kindergarten with Mrs. Deese and was lucky enough to know one of his classmates. He and Emily went from preschool to kindergarten together. He is doing great with the transition. I am so proud of him.
DJ started 2nd grade and he got Ms. Moberg. He didn’t seem really excited at first, but once she started giving them math quizzes, he was very excited. He came home asking me to time him while he worked on 100 addition problems. He completed 72 in 5 minutes.
Most importantly, my life got a whole lot easier. Both boys go to Hutchens Elementary and it is less than a mile from our house. It has certainly quieted down since this summer. I have gone from pulling two boys off of one another to monitoring the school cafeteria during lunch and starting my classroom mom duties. I will also be coaching DJ’s soccer team. Our first practice is tomorrow. I am very excited for this school year!!
