I missed everyone here. I should have known better.
DYK Amy had a full-day today for her first day of 5th grade
DYK I was a bit nervous since she has a first year teacher going in, but was very well pleased with how she responded when I met her last week and how she responded when I went back and talked with her this morning and delighted with how she helped Amy today.

Gabby's first day of 8th grade went pretty well.I only had to go out and buy one setof subject dividers tonight.Gab was also short a science binder since the supply list said a 3 subject notebook.However,she was able to use her 2nd English binder.They need the 2nd binder for their autobiography which they will write all year,but we can get a new binder in the next few weeks for that.
She seems to like most of her teachers.She did say that they told them they can't go to the bathroom.She should know by now that teachers always say that on the first day of school and they really do let anyone who truely has to use the bathroom use it.If I had a room full of kids this age I'd say the same thing,so they don't have kids jsut getting the pass to fool around.Other than that she says the teachers all seem nice.
She did come home with a headach.I think it is a combination of not being able to sleep last night.Then she got up at 4:45.Plus first days can be stressful.All in all though her day went pretty well.
I signed everything I needed to sign,I hate the begining of the school year,because of all the forms that come home.
Aly will NOT go to the bathroom even between classes because she is afraid she will be late for class. My principal said to tell her not to worry about it, that SHE will never get a tardy (obviously, she's not one to abuse it), but she just refuses. So she goes before school, at lunch, & after school only.
DYK - I'm glad Gabby had a good first day!
DYK - I finally got my elliptical machine! I've been looking for several weeks and I finally got one! Now, I have to stay off the computer in the mornings long enough to use it!!LOL
I'm really looking forward to getting started on it though! They were my fav thing to do when I was going to the gym!
DYK I hope everyone who started school yesterday has a great 2nd day today
DYK I hope all of our children feel comfortable asking to use the bathroom whenever needed at school
