New School Year

Back to school always brings all sorts of school supplies. This year, our table was full of stuff for several days before we got it all organized, 

and put away in their backpacks! I was glad to have my table back, too!

The first day rolled around and the boys were actually pretty excited. Noah was NOT interested in a photo, but at least Levi was. 6:45 is a mighty early time to get on a bus, but so far they've done it without complaint. Noah's starting 5th grade and Levi's in 3rd.

And off they go!

The school hosted an open house so I got to see their classrooms and visit with their teachers. Levi created this family tree, each of the people in his family are represented on one of the hands. Each finger is labeled with stuff that person likes to do. One of my fingers says "muffins" on it. I laughed out loud when I read it and so did Levi - he said, "I meant you like making muffins, but that was too many words to fit on the finger!" :-)

Levi and his buddy Kreed being silly. :-)

Noah's class has started the year with a unit all about chocolate. He wrote this cool poem about chocolate that was out in the hall, but he REFUSED to take a picture by it. So, this was the best photo I could get of him....

Fifth grade is when band starts in Goessel and Noah has chosen to play percussion. We're already enjoying listening to him practice. :-)

We're so thankful that our boys love school. They have fun with their friends, they enjoy their teachers and learning has always come fairly easy for them. That is something to be thankful for and we don't take it for granted. It also helps that school involves lunch, P.E. and recess. Those are still their favorite parts of the school day.
