FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL-Aug 25, 2008

This year, Kamille is in Mrs. Eder's 5th grade class.
Keanna (or K.K. as she prefers to be called at school) is in Mrs. Meyer's 3rd grade class.
K.K. has had Mrs. Meyer's 2 other times, first as a student teacher in Kindergarten, then as her co-teacher with another teacher in 1st grade. She absolutely loves Mrs. Meyers (who previously was Ms. Locke, until she married during the summer) and couldn't wait to start school this year to be in her classroom again. K.K. absolutely LOVES school. Everything comes easily to her. She does not have a large group of friends, however, her and her few friends are a very close little group. I got to thinking when school started, K.K. has only had 3 teachers since she started school: my sister-in-law Rhondie(Ms. Kohr) in Kindergarten and 2nd grade, and Mrs. Meyers and Mrs. "K" (easier than her last name: Koshinsky) in 1st grade and now Mrs. Meyers again in 3rd grade. This only happens in small-town America, but is one of the biggest reasons why we do NOT want to move away from this town. The school is so small and the kids all know each other and the teachers know most all the kids and families very well. It creates a very comfortable, familiar setting for the kids to learn in. Kamille doesn't enjoy school for the same reason as K.K., but she does love hanging out with her friends. She is quite the little social butterfly and regularly changes her "best" friends. When Kamille was in 3rd grade, she went across to Mrs. Eder's (who taught 3rd grade then) room for reading, so she knows Kamille pretty well and I think we're in for a good year with Kamille making good progress in her studies.
