Back to School

After weeks of back to school posts on Facebook, it was finally time for our boys to head back to school. Autumn Term started on Wednesday, September 5th for James and John. Jude and Jonah both had their first days of school on Thursday. 

John is now in Year 2 and is in the classroom above his Year 1 classroom. He has two teachers this year plus a class aide. On Monday and Tuesday, his teacher is Mrs. Sloan. Then the rest of the week, he has Mrs. Fenton. Both women are excellent teachers. John seems to have settled into this school year much faster than last term. This term he is continuing with Performing Arts class and has begun taking Piano lessons. 

James is now in Year 4 and is in a classroom just down the hall from his Year 3 classroom. It's a huge room and the kids have a lot of room to spread out and learn. James' teacher is Miss Nancolas and he really likes her. This term James is continuing with Judo and has added Rock Climbing and trumpet lessons. 

Jude is in Tuskers and is having a wonderful time. He's really learning a lot in his three days of school each week. He's really come a long way with potty training. He's now recognizing when he needs to pee and goes to the potty on his own. He still hasn't made any progress with pooping in the potty but we know it will come with time. Jude tells me each day who his friends are and the list is ever growing. He even has best friends - Oliver and Felix. 

Jonah is loving nursery school. He still cries when I leave him but only for a couple of minutes. He has so much fun there and loves playing with the other children. They have all sorts of toys and he gets lots of outside play time. They even go out when it rains! He loves the food and often has two helpings of lunch and loves the pudding (dessert). He's also getting better about napping there. At first it was only 30-45 minutes but now it's getting back to his normal 2 hours. 

Overall, the school year is off to a great start!!
