Daily Happenings with the Price Family: Back to School

After a very busy summer of softball, swimming and excessive heat the kids returned to school. The biggest change came for Sawyer entering jr high. I am happy to report that he loves it and has been way more responsible this school year so far! He has also made new friends! He is on the "S" team. This was the same team that Faith was on in 6th grade so we were pretty excited about that. The "S" team has great teachers and they do block scheduling. Sawyer also has tutorial which is really helpful! He got all A's and one B on his report card which I think is his best report card ever!! Sixth graders were also issued laptops for the first time ever and he loves having it! He doesn't care for writing and much prefers typing. He hasn't broken it yet and is very good about having it charged for school everyday.

Faith entered 8th grade and now has realized that school isn't as much fun as it used to be. There is a lot more note taking and homework. She is also not fond of waking up early in the morning. She is bused to the high school every morning for Honors Geometry. This means she rides the bus a 1/2 hour earlier than her jr. high peers. At least this gets her a little more acclimated with the HS before next fall! Faith still has a great group of friends that I am very thankful for! She also received all A's and on B (in geometry) on her report card.

Eden entered 3rd grade. She has Mrs. Schertz for her teacher and loves her. This is the first year she has received letter grades and it stresses her out a bit. She hasn't received her first report card yet because they are on tri-mesters. Delaney is still her BFF and she also loves Ava and Natalie. At her P-T conference her teacher was concerned on how quiet she is in class. I wish she could be a fly on our wall one evening at home.

Beckett is in his final year of pre-school! He is going every single day for 2.5 hours. He loves it and I enjoy having the afternoons to myself! He has done soccer and is now playing basketball one morning a week. He is also doing ice hockey on Saturdays. He is growing up so fast! I can't believe he will be in kindergarten next year!

Faith and Sawyer also participated in cross country. It was nice to go to one event and watch two children! Faith made choir ensemble again and also tried out for IMEA. She made it! She was pretty excited and I think it will be a great experience for her.
