First Day of School

Ryan is in seventh grade this year and has all the adventures related to 8 classes, 8 teachers, cute girls, new friends, etc.

 Isabelle is my beautiful 4th grader.  Her teacher is Miss Pitardi.  Her besties are all in different classes, so she's a little anxious about making new friends.  Friends can make such a difference and she is such a sweetie, I hope it doesn't take too long.

I sure love these cuties even if they are growing up. 

Ryan's Space Station

Ryan created this cool space station for a 6th grade project.  I thought he was particularly creative with his use of legos.

First Day of School

 Ryan in 6th Grade - Teacher : Mrs. Spadafora - somewhat excited

 Isabelle in 3rd grade - Teacher: Mrs. Ahlstrom - super excited

Ashley and Izzy waiting at the bus stop.  Ashley: mad I wouldn't let her walk to the bus stop without me.
Over all the day went well and the school year has been fairly positive.  We put the children on different schedules hoping that it would help me to help them get things done.  The result has been positive for Ryan's work and positive for Izzy's attitude (work, not so much).  Not sure what I'll have Izzy do next year.  She does well having a bit more time to wake up but doesn't like to get jobs done before school, so we'll see.

Last Day of School May 31, 2012

School's Out!  Scream and Shout!!

 We were all so excited for school to get out this year.  Instead of riding the bus the last day this year they rode their bikes.  For school this year Isabelle had Miss Krystal Mortensen.  She was a fun young teacher who was interning.  She received her mission call while school was still in.  Izzy thought it was cool to have a teacher who was about to serve a mission.  She loved her teacher.

 Ryan had Mrs. Barb Steele.  She was a fun veteran teacher.  He loved her rootbeer, the science fair and that he had almost all of his friends in the same class!
