Back To School Night...

Last week was back to school night. Both kiddos were excited to show us around their classrooms. Walker was most excited to show us how organized his desk was... a little peek into his desk.

Showing us his self portrait picture...

They did away with parent teacher conferences this year so this is really the only time during the year to meet their teachers. She tested him on reading and he just got into the second grade reading level! The problems we had in kindergarten "works quietly when appropriate" isn't an issue anymore... since they do everything as a class now, there aren't any more centers where they had time with classmates.

Here he is with his teacher whom I really love and is such a good fit for him...

Then it was on to Ainsley's classroom. A peek into her desk...

And her cute little self...

I let her wear her hang down earrings that night so she was mostly excited about that. It's funny how all of a sudden 3rd grade is serious work... there aren't any cute drawings or pictures hung up to look at it's mostly folders and binders of work completed. This year it's also the change of grading to A,B and C's. She gave us a demo with her "clicker" as to how they use their new state of the art learning system... the Promethean board.

Here she is with her teacher whom I absolutely love and can not say enough wonderful things about. And in the back it's the Promethean board.

I'm really excited for both of them this year... lots of fun learning. Fridays will be my days to volunteer in their classrooms. In the morning with Ainsley's class and in the afternoon with Walker's. Really love that I can do this and be involved and in the know as to what is happening.
