School has begun. It actually started a few weeks ago and we are getting into the groove although it has been a hard transition from a fun summer. I just found my camera, so this post is a little delayed. None of the girls were very excited to get their picture taken. Paige was the least excited, can you tell?
Maren is in 1st grade with Mrs. Vanhorn. Going a full day is tiring and has been a transition for her. She likes riding the bus home with the big kids. She reports that 'there is too much math' but likes school otherwise. I just realized that this is the year when I will need to sit with her EVERYDAY as she sounds out each and every letter in each and every word in each and every book she brings home. This is tough for me. I am hoping that her learning curve is short and she can be a smooth reader soon.
Paige is in 4th grade with Ms. Litven. Her group of friends got split up this year. She is a little sad about this, but I am hoping this will give her an opportunity to expand her pool of friends. She is in advanced reading and math. This is the year she gets to go skiing for one of her field trips. I have already signed up as the parent volunteer for that one.
Hannah is in 6th grade with Mrs. Roget. Her first pile of math homework (she is in advanced math) was more than she has ever gotten before. I have a feeling that this is the year when she learns how to balance homework and free time. No more finishing homework on the bus. This is her last year in grade school. I am already nervous to send her off to Junior High next year. Is she that old already?

You've inspired me to write a post about my kids 1st day of school, even though we've been rollin' for a few weeks now.
I hope Paige felt happier when she arrived home from school that day:(.
I smiled when I read Hannah did homework on the bus. I bet Mike did that too! Such smarties.
