First day of school this year is with anticipation. Both girls have moved to new buildings to begin Middle School and High School.
With jet lag, everyone is up early with plenty of time to get ready for school. It makes the early mornings easy. The bus is leaving at 7:10am this year. The bus stop is no longer outside our building. The girls need to walk to the side gate as all busses no longer pull into Yanlord. It is fine, just a bit more of an inconvenience with it is raining. The busses moved to this location last April.
Emersyn has moved to the HS building to start her freshman year. She is a bit nervous about starting high school. The high school building has six floors, therefore, the students need to hike up and down the stairs all day to their classes. Her bum should be in good shape by the end of the year!
Emersyn is happy with her teachers this year. She already has a favorite, the Farleys. The husband and wife team teach Humanities and Language Arts (LA). She is taking drama instead of band this year. The drama instruction asked her to be a part of his program. She will write a play in this class and it will be performed on the stage.
Eleri has moved to the MS building for 5th grade. Eleri is just excited to be in middle school. As a middle schooler, she has new freedom this year. She will eat at the PC Commons which means she can pick from three different food stations. She has the golden ticket, the tan pants…freedom to roam the school without a parent. This means a run to the PC Cafe on the second floor before getting on the bus. She will need more money on her lunch card this year!
Eleri has two teachers that will co-teach for the year. This is the first year to have co-teachers in the 5th grade. I am pleased with the change. She has Ms Carroll for her home room. Ms Carroll will teach math and science. Ms Carroll is very nice, but has high expectations. Mr. Chaveriat (Mr. C) is her LA and religion teacher. He is relaxed and fun with the kids – a good balance.
Eleri’s first day photo was a bit blurry, so we did a second day photo, too!
The girls ready for another fun year at Concordia!
