Things have started to get crazy and we are still a week away from school starting. Melinda had to go back this week. She has 2 teachers she is mentoring, 1 student teacher to work with, and work as the math specialist for the entire school. It's exhausting just saying everything she has to do this year.
We are looking forward to Emily being in Melinda's class this year. Em is pretty excited. Em is signed up for soccer again...God help her - Dad is coaching one more time. She is looking forward to seeing all her friends and getting back to work.
Erin is a teenager already (Dad, I would rather be sick than go to school). She will have the same 1st grade teacher E and Em had, Linda Tyson. She is terriffic and Erin will really enjoy her class. Erin has decided to pursue dance again. This time it will be hip-hop. She has been practicing quite a bit in the living room. Where do they pick up these moves? Certainly not Dad! We are about to start reading Junie B. Jones 1st Grader, Aloha-ha-ha and Dumb Bunny. Erin will probably let everyone know how they turn out.
E has already had her 1st cheerleader routine in front of people (6th grade orientation). She will cheer on Mondays during the 7th grade football games. She is really excited about finally getting to do cheerleading with her buddies. She has a good schedule with band and jazz band, athletics (volleyball and basketball), honors English/Math/Social Studies/Science. She is going to be really busy, but it sounds like it will be a GREAT year.
