Officially, our 4th back to school night. We missed (thank you lucky stars!) the beginning blah, blah, blah by the principal. Every year it is the same old thing, teacher introductions, reminders to the parents to not call their students cell phones during school hours (how is this not common knowledge!!!) & pta introductions.
I seriously appreciate the participation, but it has been the same for the last 4 years, at this point, I think I could do a pretty good job with the announcing! :) Ok, I am not that cynical.
But, on to the important stuff. The class rooms. While neither classroom, is ornately decorated, each seemed rather oddly clutter free. I am not sure if this is an improvement or detraction. Tyson's teacher is all business and as I understand it there is a lot to learn in third grade - multiplication starts soon, the always looming language arts and of course the STAR testing! Nicholas' teacher is quite friendly and seems to be less rigid, for lack of a better description. I am excited about both and heard good things so far both from student regarding teacher and teacher regarding student. So, I am confident and looking forward to a great year!
As a side note, we received Tyson's STAR Student Report in the mail last week and he scored the highest level ("advanced") in both Language Arts & Mathematics. We are really proud of him for trying so hard and paying attention last year!
I meant to take pictures and completely forgot - oops, I know ... what kind of Mom forgets this stuff ...
