Meet and Greets

The girls had their meet and greet at school to drop off school supplies and meet their teachers this past week.

Emily has the teacher she and I wanted--for 3rd grade! And her bff, Kendall, is in her class, too. 

Eva is in class with most of her friends. She is going into 6th grade, which is middle school. Their school has changed 6,7, and 8th grades to match the schedule of the high school. They will have a block schedule now. They have 8 total classes that they take, but only 4 in a day, and they rotate each day. This is supposed to transition them better when they do get to high school.  This year is also the first year that they have to dress out for PE, as well as the first year they will get grades for Spanish and computer.  Their English teacher is their homeroom teacher, but they will switch teachers for every other class, just like high school.  Eva is so excited about this schedule. She says it makes her feel older. 

Sigh. It makes me feel older, too.
