Almost Time to go Back to School!

The kids go back to school on Monday! Yesterday we had a marathon day which included Meet the Teacher for both girls and Freshman orientation for Ben. The girls put away their classroom supplies and said hello to their teachers - Becca has Ms. Flowers and Caroline has Ms. Jeanne. I know nothing about either one of them, but fingers crossed for a great year for both of them!

Later on Ben and I walked over to the high school (15 minutes door to door, we timed it - though most of those 15 minutes is walking out of the neighborhood and there's a shortcut through one of the neighbor's yards but so far he says he doesn't want to use it). We listened to some more or less clarifying instructions by the principal, and then walked around and found all his classrooms. Of course, he said he did NOT want to go inside ("I don't want to meet any teachers yet!") First semester he has honors Earth & environmental science , Math 1, Spanish 1, Sports & Entertainment Marketing, and Team Sports. Science, math and Team sports he has every day for 1 semester only; Spanish and the sports marketing class he has on alternating days for the whole year. Second semester he has honors English, world history, and gym in place of math, science and team sports. And, he has to be in class at 7:15 a.m. so that's going to be interesting.
