Back to School!

Tonight we went to Brett’s open house at school. It’s a time to bring in school supplies, find desks, meet teachers, see the classrooms. It’s really nice. Brett dreaded the pictures but I still got some. Smile It might be one of the last years he let’s me {not if I can help it!} It’s really neat to see the pictures each year. We’ve heard such great things about his teacher so we’re excited for 3rd grade.

Lots of school supplies this year – 6 notebooks and folders. Something new this year -he found two textbooks on his desk – science and social studies. We hear 3rd grade involves book reports, assignment notebooks and more studying.desk
Filling up his desk. I caved and bought him Mario notebooks. He wasn’t with me and wouldn’t have known the difference, but I knew he’d like them. Maybe he will be more excited about classwork?? And the spirals seemed like they’d hold up better than the really cheap ones. We’ll see.

Brett’s concerns?  “I’ll have to write in cursive all the time.” He doesn’t seem to like it. Sounds like his Daddy. Winking smile

Another thing he said “I’m afraid I’ll be the worst.” Breaks my heart!  I talked to him about it and he was concerned about being the worst academically in his class. Well no concerns there, that’s for sure. We talked about him doing HIS best and that it’s not a competition. It’s going to be a challenging year with all the studying and tests but it should be a really good year too. The last year at Harmony. Already.
