Since their school is so small here they combine two grades so they have the same teacher two years in a row, but now they have all moved on. Kendra really likes her teacher and is glad to be in the "large class" again, there are 17 total students. 
Jayla loves that now she gets to take AR tests and earn points and is well on her way to some 
cool prizes at the end of the year. Jake thinks it is one big party. This year he gets to go everyday! So he thinks it is pretty cool. He made me laugh the second day when he brought home some worksheets with letter shapes he had been working on and told me "now I get to read". He didn't even let me take him in on the first day. HE was going to, but then changed his mind that morning because he REALLY wanted to get on the 
bus. I tried to tell him he would get to ride the bus that afternoon when he came home but he didn't care. I think it had a lot to do with a certain little girl by the name of Haylie that rides the bus as well :o)I too have started school and must say I am glad to get back into a routine of sorts. I don't care for the 3 hour break in between my last afternoon class and my night class but I guess I will get over it. They had to make some cuts this year and it is clear that they shouldn't have, at least in the education department. There are so many classes that are very full in comparison to last year and when you have 30-40 students in one class and one Professor I think we miss out on stuff. I've also noticed that the more kids in class then the more texting goes on during class. There are just too many for the Professor to keep her eye on and the kids know it so they take advantage. There is nothing more annoying then sitting by someone who "clicks" then entire class. I love when I can find other oldies like myself in class to sit by :o)
I will leave you with this final picture, it is a little more truthful in its depiction of our kids/family :o)
