Back to School!

It's hard to believe that summer is over, and we are about to complete our first week of school. We went to Meet the Teacher last Friday night and found out who our teachers were and took all our school supplies. We are split between two schools this year because Mandy is enrolled in the district's tuition based PreK program at Hays Elementary. So, we took her to meet her teacher first. Her teacher is Mrs. Cox and the aide is one of my favorite people, Alisa Gideon. She worked at Hartman when Grace was in PreK! Love her. Mandy did great the first day. She was a little sad when I left her, but was all smiles when I picked her up. I've walked her in every day. The thought of walking to her room by herself makes her nervous. She'd get out of the car right at the entrance and her classroom is the first one inside the door, but she worries that she won't be able to get the door open by herself! This morning, just as I parked, she yells,"I think I can do it!" So, we are gonna give it a try in the morning. The first day when I picked her up she was mad that she didn't get to stay all day like Thomas and Grace.

Grace's 3rd Grade teacher this year is Mrs. Grandstaff. Great lady. I got to know her a bit last year during Thomas' third grade year and loved her. Grace is off to a great start and loves school.

Thomas is in 4th grade this year. So hard to believe. His teacher is Mrs. Vaughn, she's new to Hartman this year. He really likes her. The best part is that one of his best buddies is in his class this year. He is most excited that this is the year they will learn Texas history.

Our start to this school year has been so smooth! They are all off to a great start!

Back to School Blessings,
