Back To School

How is it even possible that we have a middle schooler in our house?!?  Ack!!!

Traditional first day of school picture - Started on August 13th.

Best Friends Forever!

Sissy with her friends in her class this year.  She and Gabriella got split up this year but Sis has made some real sweet friends in her class, some new, some old.

This picture was from their first day of centers of the school year.  They worked on learning the 7 days of creation and memorizing what happened on each day.  She's a NUT!

I really like all of Ra's 6th grade team.  They seem to truly grasp the understanding of what middle school should be and the balance between grace and high expectations.  I couldn't be more happy with the teacher Sis has for this year.  I thanked her 1st grade teacher for the fantastic placement.  Sis' teacher is a great reading teacher and that's what Sis needs.  She doesn't like reading and it's a chore to get her to do...She's so opposite of her brother that way.  I'm hoping between the two of us, we can get her to enjoy it more!
