Back to School! C'est la rentrée scolaire!


The girls started back to school today. Both girls came home full of exciting news. Kyra is in Grade 1 and has M. Denis. Alia is in Grade 3 with M. Loya. Both girls were excited to be in their classes.

Alia was very excited to be ‘on the second floor’!! Alia came home with homework for the week today (yup, on the first day!) but it is not that difficult. It is a series of handouts on Multiple Intelligences and completing a survey to see which intelligence best describes themselves. Alia says it’s easy! I’m glad she feels Grade 3 is easy! Hopefully it stays that way! Ha!

Kyra is in a Grade 1-2 split. She didn’t get any homework today but said I could teach her and asked for work! No problem. I purchased exercise books at Costco back in the summer for just this purpose.

We are back into the routine of filling and emptying lunchboxes, checking school bags for notes and the list goes on!

This morning I started back to work too. I got a call back last week to come back to work in the SK French Immersion class like last year. What an interesting exercise to be there on the first day. Last year, I started in December, when the routines had been established and the students understood some French. Today, it was back to the beginning. Very cool.

Day one was a success. 199 to go!
