The first couple months of school have flown by! I have gotten into most of my kids' classrooms to volunteer (older grades are harder to get in! I'm working on it...) and loved every minute. I love when the teachers post pics of my kids hard at work, and sometimes we catch them hard at work here at home too ;)
The kids never cease to amaze me with their great attitudes about school, overcoming struggles, and working hard to apply themselves and be a blessing to their teachers and friends. School provides so many opportunities for confidence building, and building perseverance. Kids got problems too, yo! But what better way to help them thrive, then to walk them through the hard days, and celebrate the awesome ones.
We've had learning in class, learning at home, field trips, celebratory limo rides to Godfather's Pizza (an award for selling items in the school fundraiser - my chaperone duties brought about a limo ride on my very own birthday), character trait awards and all the little moments in between.
We just had teacher conferences too, and unfortunately had a very sick Marcus at home, so Kyle had to miss out on all the AWESOME reports from every single teacher. I love that each child has at least one thing to work on (growth mindset, baby!), and also heaps of praises from their teachers. Makes our parent hearts proud. Wonderful kids who are working hard. Amazing, committed teachers who give everything they have for these kids. Public school ROCKS!!
