Another school year is upon us!

Annaliese and Haleigh both started school last week...Annaliese is in Kindergarten and Haleigh is in P3...both at Evergreen Christian School in the Spanish Immersion Program. They were both very excited for the start of the school year! The first day we went in for a 20 minute meet-and-greet with their teachers.

Annaliese now goes to school five days/week. It is an 80% program, so she does a full day of school on Monday/Wednesday/Friday and half days on Tuesday/Thursday. She loves that three days a week she gets to bring a lunch and eat at school! So far she seems to be loving it and I am slowly starting to hear about the new kids that have joined the class this year and about the things that they do each day. 

Haleigh goes two days/week, on Tuesday and Thursday mornings. She was very excited the first day and went right in and started coloring but apparently it was all downhill from there! I was told that there were a lot of tears and "I want my mommy" all morning! The second day was a little bit better but there were still tears. Cousin Mallory is in the same class and has been encouraging and trying to help comfort her throughout the day! 

The theme for the year is the Fruit of the Spirit and Annaliese's class is focusing on loving/taking care of themselves, each other, and their community and God's creation. We are excited to see how both Annaliese and Haleigh learn and grow not only in their knowledge and love of Spanish and learning but also in who they are as children of God, created in his image.
