It's been a wild and crazy year this year! We moved from Lehi, Utah to Paso Robles, CA and jumped into the school system with all ten feet- four of my kids and my husband too!
Elizabeth blew 9th grade away! She took the clarinet section by storm in the band and tried her hand at Honors English, French, Math and History. Way to rock 9th grade, Elizabeth!
Ethan and Jonah took 8th grade in Lewis Middle School by storm too! They started in all regular classes and soon switched to all honors classes. They got almost straight A's and simply rocked it!
Asher did amazing in 6th grade at the middle school- qualifying for GATE next year.
Josh was the most impressive of them all. Never having had any formal training in teaching, he taught 3 classes of 7th grade math to 12-13 yr olds who struggle with math, as well as a 6th grade class and a remedial class. Every day he showed up, even though he wasn't sure how the kids would act that day. He overcame struggles and challenges and came out on TOP!
Declan and I stayed home, with Declan going to the Kids Club while I went to the gym to work out. We made trips to the San Luis Library, to the park, play dates with Moms club and picnics on the porch.
It's been a great year! This summer we plan to head to girls camp, scout camp and have a french foreign exchange student. Let's see how this goes!
