OK, so I have had the best of intentions updating the block more frequently, but life seems to have a way of getting in the way. Obviously since the last time I posted the kids have started school. In fact, they have already completed the first quarter and we are just beginning fall break. So far...so good. Emma has advanced to 7th grade and is busier than ever. She auditioned for the school muscial, "Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat," and made it. She also ran for student council and made it. Noah is now in fifth grade and is enjoying getting to change classes every hour. Jacob is in the fourth grade and likes being one of the oldest boys in the class. He is also glad that he is fully able to participate in PE this quarter. Joel is in second grade and has been learning about mysteries and erosion. While watching TV recently he saw a helicopter landing on the beach and pointed out, "Talk about wind erosion." It's nice to see that they retain some information from school.
I have begun a new adventure and am now teaching first and second grade. It has been a very big change and I am constantly adjusting my directions so that little ones can understand. My favorite part is that they love you no matter what. It is really difficult to be in a bad mood or have a hard day when they smile up at you and say, "Good morning, Mrs. LeFevre." Plus, the are toothless and kind, and the growth you can see in just a few weeks is amazing. In the interest of school spirit I went to Skateland with the school during the third week of school. Unfortunately, I fell and broke my wrist and have been in a cast every since. Hopefully the doctor will have some good news for me this week.
We are looking forward to a week at home catching up on odd jobs and decorating for Halloween.
