First Day of School Report

Billy and JJ started second and fourth grade respectively yesterday!
JJ has Mrs. G and her whole room is decorated in a camo/camping theme. She and JJ seem to have a lot in common, and they both like to have a lot of fun. He rated his first day a 5 out of 5. He only has one friend in his class from last year....but has been reunited with a few buddies from Kindergarten. The best behavior mark for each day is 'Top Scout' - being represented by Garfield and Odie (one of JJ's fav). Guess which mark he achieved yesterday? That's right....Top Scout! He is off to a great start. 2nd grade rules. And so far, nobody has 'burglarized' his pencils!
This is Billy's last year in elementary school, and he is hoping to make the most of it! Billy has a new teacher to the school, Ms. K. Her specialty is science, and has vowed to let the kids 'blow stuff up' which of course Billy is quite excited about. The most interesting thing I heard about her is that in a previous job, she was a lifeguard at a Disney Water park....woo hoo! Billy rated his day 4 out of 5, because he said it was so tiring. His class has a lot of kids in it that he has never been in class with before, and that provides a good opportunity to make new friends. And, a very exciting thing about this year is that he rotates teachers for Math (Mrs. C) and Social Studies (Mr. Y). Billy is looking forward to starting that next week.
So it seems everyone is excited about the new school year, except J-Wow - she missed her brothers yesterday!
