Back to school 2019- Mckinley is going into 5th grade with Mrs Morrill. Kingston, 3rd grade with Mrs Childs and Enzo a big kindergartener with Mrs Vadebancoeuer (Mrs "V" is just fine). We had our back to school dinner with our theme:

BE THE GOOD

SEE THE GOOD

Mckinley came into 5th grade scared to death of the math that awaited her. It has been such a blessing that her teacher stays after every day until 4:05 to help with unfinished math and answer questions. After one week, I got an email from her teacher saying that she had improved! Mc has also said, "I love adding and subtracting fractions!" (who is this kid?). I have told her how much I loved 5th grade. I had Ms Tierney. I was also in the portables. I also got the privilege of staying with her at her apt. when mom and dad went on a cruise. It was a great year and I KNOW it will be the same for Mc. She has her best friends in her class (Emma, Azia) and is now super aware of her clothes, her hair and what's cool. 

Kingston lucked out and ended up in a class full of his friends and also CASH- how lucky to have your cousin in your class. He has already had to have an email home about talking too much during class. He said, "mom, it's hard not to talk when everyone is my friend". Kingston makes friends easily, is a good example and includes everyone. He thrives in science and math and let's hope this is the year he manages to have more legible handwriting.

On the last day of summer before Enzo started (he started a week after the other kids), he chose to "chillax" in Mimi's pool. We had lunch, sat in the pool and just hung out.  He was SO ready to start Kindergarten. He chose a shark eating a watermelon shirt and waved good bye like he was made for school. 

Afternoon kindergarten is a lot like preschool- except every day. It is nice having a few hours every day to work and sending the kids off early on Wednesday for choir. The kids have excellent teachers and it will be awesome to see how this year goes.
