1st Days of School 2015

Just a quick post of the kids' first days of school.  We had 3 first days this year.  

Tuesday Sept. 8th

Our 1st first day of school was on the 8th of Sept. after Labor Day.  Since Labor Day was so late this year, they actually held a vote back in August I think, as to decide if we should start on the 1st or the 8th.  Obviously the 8th won, which I was happy about.  Bella, Paige and Lydia all started today.  

Miss Bella starting second grade this year.  Her teacher is Mrs. Sheller--new to the school this year, and very nice.  

I really wish she wouldn't have worn these old boots--they are kind of beat up.  We got them from some friends of ours as a hand-me down and both Paige and Bella loved them and took turns wearing them--all the time!!

Paige started 5th grade this year and has Ms. Rider, who I think was some kind of aide last year, but now has her own classroom this year.  Paige really enjoys her.  

These two peas in a pod are so cute together!

Lydia started 7th grade at the middle school this year.  She was so extremely nervous to go to middle school and still wished that she was back in elementary school.  She's got some good and some really interesting teachers this year and she is really liking middle school now.  

Here are her classes/teachers: (for me to remember)

Math--Mr. Harrington

Expanded Language Arts--Mrs. Hicks

English Language Arts--Mr. Yabu

Computers--Mrs. Grant

Science--Mrs. Wakeman

Social Studies--Ms. Carney

PE--Mr. Kivett

Art--Ms. Debeljak

Wednesday Sept. 9th

Maggie started school the next day.  They always give the 7th graders and the 9th graders a day on their own so they can get used to the building without ALL the students there.  

Maggie is a sophomore this year and enjoys school for the most part.  

Here's her schedule and teachers:

French 1: Mrs. Land

Seminary:  Brother Harward (she has release time)

Accelerated Algebra 2:  Mrs. Abel

Accelerated Chemistry:  Mrs. Weidkamp

Strength Training:  Mr. Sahlfeld/PE 2: Mrs. Sahlfeld

Choir:  Mr. Sele

English Language Arts:  Mr. Stewart

Health: Mrs. Ruck

I snapped this picture of these two after school.  They are so cute!

Thursday Sept. 10th

And finally Noah's big day!  First day of Kindergarten!  They usually start the kinders 2 days after the other grades start.  His teacher is Mrs. Wilkerson and she is awesome!  Bella had her as a kindergartner and we all loved her.  This is the first year that the whole district has full day kindergarten.  I was really excited about having a whole day to myself, but kind of worried about how Noah was going to do.  He was a little sad on the first day after I dropped him off, but he was such a trooper and did a great job.  The 2nd day, he got on the bus with his sisters and didn't look back!  

On the first day...his good friend Cooper is in his class.  Thank goodness for friends to help him through hard times!

Getting off the bus after their first day.  I was so excited to see how their day was!

Friday September 11th

I thought I'd take a picture of all of them together, since I didn't get to on the first day.  

Monday September 14th

And I didn't have any pictures of them getting on the bus, so I remembered to do it this morning.
