Back to School 2012

Back to school this year was so much easier than last year.  All 3 boys were not new to the school thing so none of them had any anxiety about going back. They were all looking forward to going and seeing their friends.  Ethan missed the 1st day because he was sick, but was ready to go on the 2nd day. We decided to put Ben and Ethan on the bus this year even though the school is only a 5 minute car drive.  They only use it for after school as this was the only time that was a pain in the butt for me to pick them up because of Sydneys naps.  Now Syd can have her full nap and I have an extra hour to get whatever done, its been lovely.  
Ben loves taking the bus, Ethan thinks its a little loud.

Bens first day of grade one

Ben got Mrs Sawatzky for a teacher

He was lucky to have 2 of his best buddies from kindergarten in his class again

Ethan got Ms Currie and he also had his buddies in his class for the 3rd year in a row

Sam went back to the same preschool and he goes tues, wed and thurs from 12:15-2:45.  He loves going!

1st day coming off the bus

this is how we stay organized for school.  everyone has a clipboard and all their papers they bring home go right onto their board.  All important dates are put onto the calandar and i look at it every morning.  lunch kits are stored in the back packs and are right there handy to pack in the mornings.
