School time

So I know I am a little late with this post, but better late than never, right? School started in August, TJ starting 1st grade and Cooper starting Preschool. Here is a little picture of TJ before his first day of school. He was pretty excited to start first grade, and I think one of his favorite parts is that he gets to eat lunch at school - AWESOME! :-) He is a little smarty pants and is doing great in school. I think he has gotten100% plus all of the bonus words each week on his spelling tests, and he is reading super well for his grade.

 Here he is with his teacher Mrs. Beary. He has a split class, with one teacher in the morning and a different one in the afternoon. It seems to be going just fine for him, although I was a little worried about two different teachers. He said Mrs. Beary is a REALLY good teacher.

 After school on his first day, he came home and I had made giant chocolate chip cookies to eat while we sat around and talked about his first day at school. They had also sent him home with this M&M game where depending on what color he pulled out he had to tell us something about his day (new friend he had made, book they had read, etc). He was pretty happy, as you can see by his huge grin. :-)

 Here's Cooper on his first day of preschool. I am actually doing two different preschools with him - a joy school with a few of my friends, and then the other days he goes to a preschool here in our neighborhood area with a "real" teacher and he really loves both of them. He is gone every morning, which every once in a while seems like a bit much, but he loves it and it gives me some one on one time with Eliza each day, which I really enjoy. My kids are just growing up!!!
