I’m trying really hard to remain optimistic about the new school year. But I’m incredibly frustrated that this year not one but BOTH boys will be in team-taught classes. This didn’t go so well for us last year, so imagine our surprise when Christian even still has one of the same teachers!

Breathe in, breathe out…

I’m trying to remind myself of the bright sides here…
– teachers creatively kept their jobs despite budget cuts
– Christian apparently liked this teacher and is not too bummed he didn’t get the teacher he wanted
– Christian’s second teacher will only be 1 day a week, so hopefully he’ll have a bit more consistency this year (and it’s his music/pe teacher, who he also liked)
– BJ’s only in second grade and hopefully it won’t be as big of a deal as it was for Christian in 4th.

That’s all I’ve got so far. We get to go visit Alyson’s classroom this evening, so we’re looking forward to that.
