Fifth Grade, Here He Comes!

Today was the first day of school. My little baby Andy is a fifth grader!! How sad that makes me.

Andy Meets His Teacher

Andy had his "Meet the Teacher" orientation tonight. He goes to a different building this year so we were sure to check out the entire school. When you enter the school there are train tracks near the ceiling that run through the hallway and library with a toy train on them. The train was really running and it was pretty neat. The library also had an old truck bed in it decorated with pillows for a reading area and a real garden fountain in a corner.

Andy's homeroom teacher was very impressive. He loves social studies & American history so he ranks pretty high in my book.

The unbelievable part is that there are a total of 15 fifth grade classes with each having about 24 students in them.

Journey to the Center of the Earth

Andy and I spent the last day of my summer vacation going to see the movie, "Journey to the Center of the Earth." We both loved the movie and it was fun having a special day together.
