First day of second grade for Becca. Her first grade teacher moved up to second grade this year and Becca is in her class again -- actually the teacher requested to have her again, which is easier for everyone and she can continue to follow Becca'a progress on the ADHD meds we started her on at the end of last year. Becca is thrilled to be with the same teacher again and seems to have had a good first day.
Ben started middle school today! He was happy with the extra sleep -- he doesn't need to get up until 7:15 -- and he would not allow me anywhere near the bus stop with him :) His first day seems to have gone well. He had some math homework already and to get all his supplies ready since he gets his locker tomorrow.
His schedule seems rather complicated; he has math and ELA every day and science and social studies every other day. This semester he has computers and Spanish on alternating days as well; next semester he will have engineering and 9 weeks of PE followed by 9 weeks of health. He went to all his classes today except social studies and Spanish, which he has tomorrow. So far he says all his teachers are nice but that they give a lot of homework especially math.
He is in the honors ELA section and a just-below-honors math section from which it's possible to move up to honors depending on how the first month or so goes. Science and social studies are what he called "integrated" which I gather means they just throw everyone together ;)
The highlight of his day seems to be the discovery of a Gatorade vending machine.
