School Begins 2015

I can hardly believe I have a 3rd grader.  Where does the time go?  Adelyn had been having literal anxiety attacks thinking about third grade.  She was nervous about a new teacher, bullying (one of her friends was bullied in 3rd grade and so she worried she would too) and about the curriculum (mulitiplication and cursive).  Addy is a super smart girl so I was not worried about her academically at all.  I knew she would be fine but I had heard a friend say she began praying the beginning of August her kids would get teachers that were a good fit for them.  So I did the same for Adelyn and Boston.  I dont request teachers, but I felt like going to the Lord and requesting there would be my best bet.  She ended up getting Mrs. Hunt.... a new teacher.  She was thrilled and relieved when she found out Mrs. Hunt knew Lucas and Candace and their family really well because she lived by them.  Adelyn's anxiety about school went away after finding out about that.  Mrs. Hunt has been an awesome fit of Adelyn and she has done very well with multiplication and cursive.  Prayers were answered.  Adelyns anxiety have gone completely away.  I love her so much! I love that no matter who her teacher is, she excells in school. I love that she loves school.  I love that she is so smart. I love that she gets along with and is a friend to everyone!

Boston was very excited to FINALLY go to school!  He had been watching his sister go for years and was now it was his turn.  He  had Kindergarten assessment a week before they placed him in a class.  I didnt request through the school but also said a prayer he would get a teacher that would be a good fit for him.  I am not worried acedemically about Boston.... he truly is extremely smart.  But I did worry quite a lot about his behavior.  He has a very hard time following directions.  Anyway we went to the assessment and he ended up doing his assessment with Mrs. Wright.  After we left, he said he really liked her and he wanted her to be his teacher.  Luckily, Mrs. Wright was who Boston was assigned to for the school year.  She has been so wonderful for him.  He is a top reader of his class, catches on to Math really well, and since he likes and respects Mrs. Wright, his behavior has been good.  I am so proud of him.  He loves learning and school! I love his boyish ways and his sweet heart! I cannot believe he is in Kindergarten!
