First Day of School.

 

 

 

 

I can't believe summer is gone, and school has resumed! What happened to the time? This year Conner is the big man on campus as a 5th grader. He is excited to have Trevor and Drake in his class, which are two of his best friends. He also likes the fact that he has two different teachers for school subjects. One teacher is over Math and Science, the other teaches Reading, Writing, and Social Studies. He has commented to me that it is almost like Junior High having more than one teacher. As you can see from the pictures, the boys kept their promise about wearing their Cardinals jerseys the first day of school. Derek is very excited about this school year. His teacher is his Aunt Becky, and his cousin Mason is in his class. This is the first year Lisa and I have allowed them to be in the same class. So far they have been doing pretty well. Becky was smart to put each of them on opposite sides of the classroom. This will definitely help with the talking! Derek also has Hunter in his class! He is one of Derek's good friends. Cameron is new to Bowler Elementary as a 1st grader. Last year he went to Perkins(Where I teach) for full day Kindergarten. He was a little nervous about finding his class, and knowing which bus to get on. Steve and I took the kids the first day of school, but Conner and Derek have been watching over him since then. He loves his teacher, and has made some good friends in class. Sydney is in my class again this year as a peer model in the Early Childhood Program. She is such a good example for the other kids to follow. When I get new students that are crying because they have never been away from their parents, I pair them with Sydney. After a few minutes they have stopped crying and are very comfortable in the classroom. She takes over as the Mother Hen and they follow her every step. She is in the picture with her good friend Landon. He is also one of my peer models this year.
