Meet the Teacher

School starts in only a few days for Ayden. I am very ready for Ayden to be in school. He's struggled more than any of us with the move. It's been harder for him having only his sister to play with during the day (not that they haven't play well). With hardly any kids in our new neighborhood combined with the heat, he's missed playing entire football games and holding football practices in our front yard with the neighborhood boys. So school will be a great way for him to meet more friends and stay engaged.

Tuesday was "meet the teacher" day at Moody Elementary. As we walked through the hallway trying to find his class, we passed bins lining the hallway(on both sides) full of school supplies for each class. Unlike our school in Utah, we have a long school supply list here. Things like crayons, pencils, paper, glue (all the regular supplies he'll need) and also supplies like copy paper, whiteboard markers, and garbage bags.
Once we were in his classroom, I think Ayden started to get a little more excited for school. The classroom was decorated and looked very fun and inviting. And his favorite part was the reading loft in the corner of the room. His teacher, Mrs. Isdell was very friendly and even helped me by holding Tate while I filled out a ton of paperwork. Tate loved her, she had lots of fun jewelry for him to play with! The best part about Ayden's class is that there are only 17 kids. I am so excited for this smaller class size. His 1st grade class in Utah started out with 26 kids and by the end of the year had 24.
So Ayden, ready or not, Moody Elementary here you come!!
