First day of school

Well it has finally come the first day back to school. I never thought it would get here. Jake and Trent have been out of school since July and didn't go back until Sept 14th this year. They actually got a summer vacation. That is what we get for changing tracks on them. If you don't know what tracks are my boys go to year round school and tracks tell you when your breaks are. There are 5 tracks and Jake and Trent were on Track 5 last year and now they are on Track 1. But they like it so far.
Jake is in the 4th grade now and has Miss Atwood as his 4th grade teacher. He has decided this year that he is going to be in the Give back club, join the choir and wants to be in the play. He is already starting in being busy like crazy.

Trent is in the 2nd grade now and has Mrs. Kay as his 2nd grade teacher. He absolutely loves her. She is going to be good in getting him to read and write better. Trent wants to start playing soccer this year. We will have to see how things go.

Trent was so excited that on the first day of school he actually got to hold the flag in the front of his line for class. Frias elementary has the flag ceremony outside before going into class.

And of course Fat Louie decided to give the boys a gift as we were taking pictures and getting ready to go to school. This cat will bring in a bird everyday of the week if we would let him. Apparently when we were gone the first week in San Diego he brought in a bird everyday for Bruce to clean up. Wasn't that so nice of him. I hate having to clean them up so now he has to play with them outside.

Don't my boys look so excited to go to school?

My first day back was on Tuesday. I subbed at an elementary school in the Special Education Resource room for the 4th and 5th graders. This is great practice for me since this is what I am going to school to get my masters in. I look forward to being able to have my own class and teach those students to see the light turn on in their eyes when they get it.
