School

McKay started 3rd grade this year.  His teacher is Mrs. Payte.  She is an older lady with lots of experience.  She is very calm and loves the children.  Her room is also slightly darkened with the lights to create a calming atmosphere in her classroom.  McKay is faced with lots of reading, math, and book reports this year.  It is starting to get harder.  He is excited to learn his times tables and cursive writing.  Her are just a few pictures I got when he was getting on the bus the first time for the new school year.  Erica is still doing the co-op preschool this year with her friends, with me taking a turn with the teaching, and she will go to kindergarten next year.  Kason gets to spend time at home with me while his brother and sister are at school.  It's a good year.
