First Day of School


The last day of school seemed like just a few days ago, but we are back at it. The biggest difference is that Matthew gets to take the bus to his new school. (The district divided the 6/7 school into two different schools.) We will see how it goes. I have the three big kids at school an hour before I did last year and save 45 minutes in the afternoon. I do miss the trips to take Matthew to school, because they were pretty quiet and we could chat with just Anna in tow. I don't miss the pick-up because (as you would guess) his school was pretty crowded last year and so was the parking-lot. Hopefully he enjoys the bus and his new school. Carolyn and Joel already indicate that they are happy with their new teachers! Matthew was excited that his "exploratory" class gets to build robots with NXT Legos. He was able to experience NXT 2 summers ago at Iowa State Science camp, so he knows how much fun they can be.
