School Update

We've been in school now for about three weeks and so far, its been a great three weeks. I've probably had more adjusting to do than the kids. Joshie is in the older of the two nursery classes and loves his "classroom". He is in with other three and four year-olds and most of his friends. He has one more year after this year until he can go to pre-K because of when his birthday falls. But I think that will be nice since then he and Jenna will be a yea apart in school and Jenna and Julianna will also be a year apart in school.

Joshie is learning his letters and can spell his name! I am so proud of him as he is growing so fast. He loves imaginative play and tells the funniest stories sometimes.

Jenna is in the younger classroom with Julianna. At first I was going to see about moving her up with Josh since she LOVES her big brother, and can be a little rough with the babies, but I am glad she's in that room because she is learning to be more gentle and her best friend, Sage, is also in that room with her. She also enjoys going to school.

This year I have four math classes and one elective class I am teaching. It makes a jammed packed day, but I love the feeling of accomplishment and exhaustion at the end of the day. It's a good exhaustion. A lot of people think that since I am on campus only three days a week that I have Tuesday and Thursdays to play around. It is called "University Model Schooling" not just for the kids. The advantage is that I get to do all my lesson preparing, grading, etc. at home with the kids so that I have the freedom to also be with my kids and spend time with them. I LOVE IT!

Going back to school also means getting a haircut. Joshie's hair was starting to get a little long,; and you know its long when he asks you to cut his hair! Here's the befor and after. I am quite proud of my money-saving haircuts!
