BACK TO SCHOOL!

This was the first week back to school. It went great. Kolbie really likes his teacher and she is not one to give a lot of homework so that is great. Of course the week started with Algebra but what would the week be without a little something to blow your mind. I am wondering did we skip third grade and go straight to high school. I really don't remember ALGEBRA in the 3rd grade. Weren't we still potty training then. I really had to take myself back to the earlier years. Spelling words are a little longer and harder this year too. Kolbie also got accepted into the Project Goal program this year so that will be a little different. Not sure what every state calls it but it is also called the Gifted and Talented program. He will be doing accelerated math and science during this time each day. It kind of scared me at first because I didn't realize it counts for a grade on his report card but when the teacher explained it a little more it seems like something he will do well with and really enjoy. He is very excited and the fact that he is only 1 of 5 in the third grade to get into the program and more so the only one in his class is an acheivement.

I was really dreading the back to school thing but I think this will be a good year. It makes the work week go by faster when you are having to do the school routine but it also makes me realize that it just seems like yesterday that we were taking him to kindergarten and now it is 3rd grade. Also I have noticed that he doesn't want mom to give him a kiss in front of the school anymore cause that aint COOL. OH TO BE YOUNG AGAIN.
