First Day of School

Well it's that time of year, and today was the first day of school. Traditional pictures were taken. Kids are getting to the age where this is becoming more of a hassle than something to look forward to, still I took their picture. Both kids are starting a new school this year and riding the same bus. The bus stops at our house about 7:05am.

Dalton is in the fifth grade this year and starting Canaan Middle School. He will be switching three classes this year, Language Arts, Math and Science/Social Studies. Dalton didn't want school to start too much, he was having too fun a summer. But I really think that riding the "early" bus is cool to him...that he seems older (even though he is the youngest grade on the bus).



Madison is in the seventh grade this year and starting Jonathan Alder Junior High School. She will be switching classes for all periods this year. Her first three classes are probably her biggest concern with Pre-Algebra, World History and Science. She ends her day with Honors English, but has a study hall right before that, so hopefully can work on homework in there. Madison is hesitant about school starting. While she really wants to see her friends, she is scared about switching all classes and not being caught by the tardy bell.
