Homework - Already?



We are eagerly preparing for back to school at our house. Okay - so truthfully, mommy is very eager, Mikaela is a little excited and Xander is a little apprehensive.

Xander isn't sold that the new teacher will be as fabulous as the old one. Mommy is!

Our teachers came for home visits to meet us, and see where we live last week.

Mikaela has Ms.Erika again - we are so thrilled! Her new aide is Ms.Richie (who was a kindergarten aide last year - she knows all the ropes!).

Xander has Ms.Ginger. His aide is Ms.Ruth.

We already have homework! We have been busy working on finishing it up to turn in at open house.

Xander had three assignments - decorate his school folder, create a banner with all the people/things he loves, and complete a book about himself. He has been busy with his scissors and glue stick. He has really enjoyed putting the stickers on - all by himself!

Mikaela had one book to complete about herself. She has done all her writing all by herself! Even "Barbie and the 12 Dancing Princesses" - now that's a long phrase! She used pictures and stickers to tell a little more about herself as well.

Wish us luck on our new school year!
