Yesterday was open house at B's school. E and K have open house tomorrow. Our school system has made a lot of changes this summer. Last year there was one elementary school (PK-2), one intermediate school(3-6), one junior high, and one high school. Now there are 3 elementary schools (PK-5), one middle school (6-8), and one brand new high school. E and K get to go to the brand new grade school. B has to to go middle school which also moved into the old high school building.
B gets to take flute this year,but she has a long walk from her Soc Studies class to the band room. She will never make it in five minutes. She also has gym every day this year. She will be worn out every day when she gets home! They do not have lockers and are not allowed to carry backpacks. They have to get off the bus, go to the band room to leave instruments, go to the cafeteria to leave their lunches from home, then go to class. Then pick those things up before they get on the bus to come home. It is crazy.
B is not as worried about it as I expected her to be. I have been telling her how it will all work out and be fine--and I am sure it will be. But I am glad it is not me!! I am very thankful that the teachers all seem good, and nice. It will be very hard for her though with all the changes and how much harder 6th grade gets. I just hope that knowing about her learning disabilities now and the extra help she is supposed to get will help her in time for her not too feel too overwhelmed.
We need to go today to get the last of her school supplies and new binder. This weekend is tax free weekend and there is no way I am going shopping this weekend. It is a very good idea, but it is crazy and not worth the trouble for just a few things! So today we are off to get physicals for everyone (including some shots!) and then shopping. I have a feeling my afternoon will not be pleasant!
