Open House Night

Last night was the open house at the boys elementary school. They each got to go to their classroom, meet their teacher and fill out paperwork.

Kyler: Kyler didn't know who his teacher was until tonight. He has a brand new teacher, Mrs. Curtis! She is a recent graduate of OBU and I think she is going to be great! Kyler got to see his cubby and put his nap mat up. His seat is in the back of the class with 4 other classmates around him in a group. He settled right in, and had fun playing puppets with some of his new classmates. He even has a T-ball team mate who sits across the the aisle from him. I think he is ready! When I asked him what he thought about everything he said, "I think I'll love it!" and I think he will too!

Jayden: Apparantly, Jayden's teacher didn't read "the file", because his seat was very back right! I am going to estimate that this placement lasts til, mmm day 2! I even mentioned that Jayden might be more "successful" in the front of the class (possibly handcuffed to the teacher! -okay I left that part out!). Jayden did his usual politicing and worked the room. He has a few classmates from last year and a teammate from baseball. As he walks down the hallway you can hear, "Jayden. . . hey, Jayden. . . " as he passes out knucks and fives. In Jayden 's words, "I've been going to this school for 2 years now. . . " so, yeah - he's an old pro!

Evan: Okay, Evan was just along for the ride. . . but, he insisted on wearing his backpack and carrying his lunch box (which he had packed with a spare pair of shoes!). In Jayden's room, promptly after having a seat, he announced "rainbow" -- most of you know what this means, if not -- well, that's why we have a code word! When Kyler's teacher was showing him his cubby, Evan took it upon himself to claim a few cubbies of his own! Most of his time was spent roaming the hallways with Kerry while I took care of classroom business.
