Open House x 2

Monday night was Open House at both Tanner & Taylor's schools.

Tanner's was at 5:30, so we headed over there first. He was thrilled to meet his teacher, see his classroom, & say hello to some new friends.

Mrs. Emily & Tanner

His school bag . . . just waiting for his lunch, snack, & daily folder!

He quickly found his seat, labeled with his nametag & folder

He loves seeing (& writing & spelling) his name, so it was cool to see it in so many places around the classroom. 

I couldn't even take pics of them all! :)

He also had fun checking out some of the toys w/ his big brother

I had to fast forward to today for just a minute . . .

They have 2 homework assignments in their folders to complete & take back the 1st day, which is Wednesday.  One is to decorate a lunch bag & put 3-4 things (objects or pics) they like inside.

Any guesses on what he chose?!

He LOVES schoolwork & was absolutely giddy when I told him he had homework (probably because his big brothers have it), so he was ready to tackle his assignments ASAP!

The 2nd task was to ask him these questions & record his answers. They're going to use this to get to know one another & make a class scrapbook.  I wish you could see this better because he cracked me up answering the questions - like when I asked what he wants to be when he grows up, he looked at me w/ his head cocked to the side, & in a questioning way stated "a big boy?!" :)  He also kept saying "okay, what's next???"  Right up his alley!!

 

Taylor's was at 6:00, so we had to rush back over to his school next.  There was a short PTA meeting, complete with a speaker, info from the principal, & 2 dance routines from the cheerleaders.  This was followed by a visit to classrooms to chat with teachers & check out what the kiddos have been up to.

If you didn't know before, you'll quickly notice what sign this child likes to throw up . . .  ALL THE TIME!

Taylor & Mrs. Allen

(She's his homeroom teacher,

& teaches reading, lang. arts, & social studies)

This is one of Taylor's new friends, Tommy. They hit it off day one & he's talked about him every day since.  He's ready to invite him over (he LOVES having friends over! Sigh.). Tommy & his family moved here from Tampa the same time we were moving from B'ham. He's a cool kid & he & Taylor have similar personalities.  His mother teaches at the school & told me that Tommy can talk to a filing cabinet! Lol!!! 2 peas in a pod!! :)

Taylor & Mrs. Tracy

(she's his math & science teacher)

2 boys, 2 schools, 2 open houses . . . . ONE night, ONE TIRED MOMMA . . . the life of a full time mom/part time football widow!

 

Oh, & just in case you're still wondering . . .

Tanner put objects & pics in his bag for these 4 likes:

football, the beach, power rangers, his family!

 

PEACE!!
