First Day of School 2017

So the school year is started! We have a 4th, 3rd and kindergartner in the house. Last school year was such an amazing school year for the kids I just can't imagine what blessings God has in plans.
Now that Jacob is over the 3rd grade hump so to speak I am not as worried about him settling into 4th grade. He is such a hard worker I feel confident that he will do good. I pray God will protect Jacob from harm, give him good friends and give him the confidence to be who he is.
Jack has reached 3rd grade. He has made such significant strides in his learning from just last fall. I pray God continues to strengthen his reading and spelling. I pray Jack can transition into being a reader not just learning to read. I pray God gives Jack good friends and a good emotional environment to feel safe in.
Both Jacob and Jack's best friends are not in the same class this year. It is the first year the boys have had established friendships from year to year. Jack told me last night Javis (his bff) and him walked around at recess discussing how friendship fade if two friends are not in the same class. I said well you'll still be friends just in a different way. Jack said, "yes but we won't spend as much time together because we will be in separate classes." Well there is always recess so we will see how the friendship fair.
Amelia is finally in kinder. Academically, socially and emotionally she is so ready for kindergarten. I pray that God gives her an amazing fun experience that will spark her love of school. I pray her teacher can provide her with a challenge. I pray the kids in her class are a nice bunch that come ready to learn each day.
