Happy Day! Happy Day! The kids are back in school! Zoe and Nikolas started at Reagan Academy today. Nikolas started 5th grade. (Am I that old??!!) He gets to take band this year and will start by playing the clarinet. He has a great teacher, Mrs. Twitchell. She is way into army stuff, which is perfect for Nik. He can earn camo cash for being on task, being good and such things. Then he gets to buy stuff with the cash from the class store. AND they have a couple days throughout the year where he can take things to school and sell them! He actually came home excited for the school year! Thank you Mrs. Twitchell!!
Zoe started 2nd grade (WOW!) got a sweet and loving teacher named Miss Oberhansley! She will be great for Zoe because she has a huge smile and likes to give hugs. Zoe is so excited to be back in school. She taught herself cursive this summer and is happy to write all her journals in it (starting today. Miss Oberhansley was very impressed!) She is happy to be back with all her friends, though her "best" friend isn’t in her class and that was hard on her.
Ammon will start Kindergarten next Tuesday. The teachers spend this week assessing all the kindergartners. He went today and is so excited to start for reals. He is mad he has to wait until Tuesday! Yesterday was orientation at his school. The teacher was explaining things and said, "Now we will talk about homework." Ammon turned to me and exclaimed "YES! We get homework!" Hopefully that enthusiasm will continue until college!
Oh, how thankful I am so GREAT teachers!!

is Reagan Academy a charter school? We have a George Washington Academy here in St. George, but I don’t know much about it. Is that the closest school to you? if not, why did you pick that one? just curious. Congrats on sending 3 to school. let us know how you like it? I am loving it. 🙂
