First Week of School Wrap-Up

With the first week of school behind us, we are getting ready to enjoy a lazy Labor Day weekend! Ben had a good first week of school, proclaiming to like his teachers, Ms Ebert (homeroom, literacy and social studies) and Ms Evans (science and math). A change from last year is that they have both science and social studies every day, whereas last year they would switch off between science and social studies half way through each quarter. The homework has started right up, although so far just for literacy but a pile of it. So far his attitude is good, his assignments are getting done, and his agenda book is being neatly maintained :) We'll see how long it lasts!

Becca missed two days due to the stomach bug, and still is complaining of stomach cramps and has a poor appetite. Despite missing school she also seems to be settling into her new classroom, and had her first homework assignment (an "all about me" page and portrait) yesterday. This week was called "training camp" as far as classroom rules, discipline, and homework. The real fun begins next week :)
