Back to school!!!

Summer is officially over in our House Hold! The girls started school August 10. They were very excited to head back and meet their teachers and see their friends.

My Rylee girl is officially in 1st grade. Rylee was supposed to have Taylor's 1st grade teacher but she ended up switching grade levels a week before school started. I was VERY sad. But I do like her teacher Mrs. Wood. She has been a teacher for a VERY long time and is very loving and nice. Rylee really likes her and has some old friends in the class. She also has made some new ones.

Can you Believe Taylor is in 3rd grade? As for Taylor's teacher ... we had heard stories. Nothing Great but nothing too bad. I was a little concerned because we weren't happy with her teacher last year. Miss. Isaman is VERY strict but after meeting her at Curriculum Night and hearing her talk about things I was very impressed. She is older never been married with no kids. She is a bigger lady and really doesn't have a life outside of school. In a way it's great! She is very organized and on top of things but she is a little grumpy at times. Taylor's 3rd grade class was the only one to have homework the 1st day or all the 1st week. She even had a spelling test. I know Miss. Isaman will have her kids very prepared and she wont take nonsense.

I am looking forward to all that the girls will be learning this year. Tay starts in the computer lab this year. She will also learn multiplication and division and cursive hand writing. Rylee will make leaps and bounds in her reading and writing. It will be lots of fun!

I made the girls both home work studios. They are full of all the supplies they will need to complete their home work. Plus it helps to keep them focused. I found the idea in a parenting magazine I get. So far they have been working great! The girls have done really good on their spelling tests and we have a good system down!
