First Grade & Pre-K

While all of my friends are busy sending their kiddos off to their first day of school in Texas, we are well underway here in the Philippines. (We've already had 2 days off for Filipino holidays! Holidays are a serious business around here!)

The kids started back to school on August 7th this year & so far, they have had a great few weeks! Nicholas moved up into the pre-kindergarten class with Teacher Malen, who is extremely calm & gentle with the kids. We are hoping some of her calmness will rub off on Nick! Sydney & Samuel are separated again this year, but they are perfectly content. Sydney was blessed with a sweet, easygoing veteran teacher, Miss Anna Gomez. Samuel has Mrs. Melissa Quattlebaum. This is her first year teaching, so the hope is that she'll have enough energy & patience to handle my rowdy boy. Samuel likes his teacher & likes saying her last name even more so I think it's a good match!


I hope all of our first-time school friends out there have had a great start so far. I want to hear from all of you... Rebecca, Ava, Jackson and Matalee. Send pictures!
