New Year, New Teachers...


...well for everyone but Will! Last year Will fell in love with his teacher. He had the best year. I worried and worried about who Will's teacher would be for 2nd grade. We knew his Kindergarten teacher well and he loved her and I went to High School with Mrs. Ashley Tate so I knew her. Second grade would be different. There are so many great teachers in 2nd grade so that made it a harder decision. So on conference day, Mrs. Tate told us she was going to 2nd grade. Decision made, we would ask for her another year! It is really great how it all worked out.



After we had had such a good year with Mrs. Tate in 1st grade, I of course wanted Drew to have her. But, Drew didn't want her. You see, Mrs. Tate has a son Joel and Drew wanted to be in class with him again. I talked to Mrs. Tate and she told me not to worry about it that it would be okay. And She was right! We requested Drew be in Mrs. Laurie Jordan's class with his 2 best friends Joel and Cole and that is just where he is! For the 3rd year in a row we have Mrs. Tracie Huner. Ben will have her in Kindergarten and he and Walker are the 4th and 5th children from our family to have her. She is absolutley the BEST! I only hope that in 5 years she is still there to teach Kate. We had a great time at school today dropping off supplies. We ran into all our friends so we are ready for school bright and early tomorrow!

Zachary's kindergarten orientation is Aug. 15th and school starts here on the 18th. Please join is in praying that he gets the teacher that God intends for him and that he employs the good behavior skills that he has but does not always use. As you know, it is so important that the beginning school experiance is a good one, as it sets the tone for their entire school career.
