First Day of School, Take Two!

Today was the first day of enrichment classes at Valley Oaks!  There are a lot more of Jaden's friends at school this year.  Here are a few of them posing before classes start.  :)

 

Here is the same group, plus a few more.  They were all so excited!

This is where they line up while we listen to announcements and do the pledge of allegiance. My kids all have it down, even Aubrey because we do it every day before school starts.  I am such a cheesy homeschooler.  :P

It was Matthew's first day of Kindergarten and he did great!

Here are the kids and Becky (Jaden's resource teacher) walking over to the tractor.  (They load onto the tractor and it takes them to their classes because they are pretty far away.)  They LOVE that part!

Here is my sweet Jaden before the tractor took off.  He is officially a first grader now.  He did well in his classes today and I wasn't even worried about him.  He is getting to be so grown up.  He was thrilled that August was in his class again this year, along with Luke, Matt, Reese, Kimberley and Owen.  It should be a fun year!  This quarter they are studying insects, camping and music.    Right up a little boy's alley!  I just love our little school.  :)

Pizza Party!

Jaden's "class", or I should say Becky's roster won a pizza party at school today. :) It was fun, although I think the kids thought just eating pizza and leaving was not much of a party.

Jaden and his resource teacher Miss Becky. :) I think this was when he was asking why there were no games at this so called "party".

Luke, enjoying his cheeseless pizza.

Antonia, before her mommy took the cheese from her pizza. I told her to say, "No Cheese!" I think she is lactose intolerant, I'm not sure why she didn't get cheese. Luke just didn't like his. :) Becky and the other moms agreed that we wished we didn't like cheese.

Taya, eating her pizza. At least Taya remembered to wear green today. Poor Jaden showed up without any green except his nametag. It took me back to my school days, I don't know if I ever remembered to wear green on St. Patrick's Day. I never thought it was a very good holiday, pretty silly actually. I remember, even on the days that there was nothing in my outfit that could possibly pass for green, falling back on my green eyes. No one usually bought it. I left school praying that no one pinched him because I don't think he would think it was very funny. Who knows what he might do in retaliation. :/ He said he had a great day, so hopefully they let him off the hook. :)
