First day updated

I just wanted to add a little something at the end of the first day. Mallory and Madison had a great day, they had been a little worried because Carbondale has a much bigger building than what they had last year, and they were scared of being lost, or not finding their classes on time. They report that the building is not as big or bad as it seemed, and that they had no trouble. Colin knew exactly where he was supposed to go since they had an open house earlier this week. He had a great day and says that he has some pretty funny boys in his class. Cameron did fantastic today as well. I am so excited to report about all we are learning! Today we learned about ecosystems, and then went into the yard to look for some. It was neat to see Cam apply what we had been talking about. He said that he loves his new school - and is especially happy with his gym teacher Mr. Woodcock (Jim).

The new system that our district implemented means really early mornings- going in 1/2 hour earlier than last year, and the kids got home tonight 40 minutes later than they did last year. It will definitely take some adjustments on all of our parts. I am happy with the decision that we have made, and I am sure that we will be able to survive!
