First Grade and Preschool

Would you like to see first day of school photos, two months after the fact? Oh dear, this is getting ridiculous. C'est la vie.

The twins are in the same class again for first grade but, obviously, in a new school. They seem to be adjusting just fine and are making friends (by playing pokemon together during recess)

They have a rather no-nonsense, but nice teacher. She seems super on top of things and has been doing a great job of teaching them. Their reading continues to soar and they do a great job behaviorally. Liam even got Student of the Month for September and I was able to go to the little assembly for it, where the awardees got to run down a cheering walkway- it was cute. Can't wait to go again when it's Dash's turn.

They have homework now, maybe five minutes worth, and they're finally used to that. There was a bit of complaining at first. I wonder what it'll be like when they have really substantial work to do at home.

And this little man has started Preschool. It's the same style as I did with Liam and Dash, a school lead by the moms a couple days a week. The way the age requirements work in Colorado, Grey will be in Kindergarten next year so we had to get him started with some school familiarity now. He was hesitant and nervous at first but now gets... kind of excited to go. He's just a reserved kid in unfamiliar environments. I wonder what it'd be like if HE had a twin to do all these intimidating Firsts with him. Grey's also working on the Teach Your Child to Read in 100 Easy Lessons and does a great job when he's not trying to be silly. Hurray for learning!
