School started yesterday, August 31st, with today being the first full day. Alyssa is now a Jr. high student and has different teachers all day long. She gets to take HomeEc and Shop this year and continue with band. She is also going to keep up piano lessons and try out for some sports, starting with Volleyball. She has a locker now and was excited yesterday to buy a mirror and some pencil holders for it.
Austin is in Gr. 5 now--can you believe it--and is going to try to get himself to school as much as possible this year, rather than riding the special needs bus. He is also taking piano lessons.
Mark is in Grade three, in a manner of speaking, and continues to be cared for by Amanda, his aide from last year. He takes the special needs bus to school and stays for the full day. He has a new caregiver, Indy, who will be working with him in the evenings, as well as Shari.
Preston can't wait to start preschool next week. Last night he packed a lunch, just like the other kids. Today he wanted to play school so we worked on his alphabet. He'll be going to Tuesday/Thursday afternoon preschool.
The first week of school this year is set amid hot weather, the hottest of a very cool, wet summer. Today I practically melted mowing the grass in 30 degree temperatures!
