September at School

Carter has been adjusting well to 4th grade.  The amount of homework has definitely increased which he laments at times but he is able to manage.  Dad got to come to Family Share one morning where he taught the class about being an Engineer and had them build paper structures to hold matchbox cars.

Parker is also having a good year.  He got to bring a bag of things to describe himself to share with the class - he chose a picture collage because he likes to travel, a trophy because he is athletic and a sculpture he made because he is creative.  Parker has to wear chapel attire this year and he obliged mom by wearing a bow tie one day!  The other pictures are enjoying a snack of Hot Buttered Toast to go with a Mercy Watson book.  And a visit from a guest author (they ahve already had 3 this year!).

Avery is loving Kindergarten and settling into the routine.  She has been fortunate to have mom and dad get to come eat lunch with her a few times, typically accompanied by Chick-fil-A.  The other picture is where she participated in a STEM project where she made houses for some animals to protect them from a flood.  She has been working very hard on her sight words and hand writing skills.
