Austin and Aubrey, August 2013
First Day of School
Austin is in the 5th grade this year. 5th Grade!!! He will be in middle school this year. Every time I think about that I have a panic attack...
Report cards just came out for the first quarter and he, of course, had a fabulous one. His teacher said he is "a respectful, intelligent and hard working young man, and I am proud to have him in my classroom". I may have teared a little when I read that. Especially since the year started out rocky. He has a male teacher this year, who is very strict and "mean" (according to the naughty kids). He is all about teaching responsibility and good behavior. I think Austin was having a lot of anxiety about going to school because he is not the "warm and fuzzy" type of teacher he has had in the past. But he quickly settled in and learned that Mr. P was not "mean" unless you are out of line, so he and Austin get along just fine.
Aubrey is loving the 1st grade. Her only complaint is that she doesn't have homework every night, so she makes us create some for her (math problems). She has the same first grade teacher Austin had, who I absolutely adore. She is doing well and also had a great report card. Her teacher said "Aubrey is doing great! She is such a joy to have in class this year. She makes me smile everyday!!".
My kids are awesome!
