Another New School Beginning

Back in our Hive for these littles to meet their new teachers!

We have heard great things about each of them, and we were glad to get to met them in person!

Zoe, also, got to go with us to see her past beloved teachers!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

There seems to be so much prep to get to this point, that it always feels like such an exhale to finally make it to the first day of school!  Sending these off to 7th, 5th, and 3rd grade this year.

To old to really want me to walk them in, but I am glad I have confident, comfortable kids to launch.

We had a little time before Zoe's new school started, so doing it right with a coffee start (or boba tea for her).  She is doing a home school co-op this year, so many changes for us.

She had a great attitude for her first day.  So proud of all my big littles!

Ezra 2nd

Ezra had a great year in 2nd grade. Thankful for some teacher pictures, as we were still not able to volunteer in the school for most of the year.

While we didn't get school photos this round....I had to include the proof of this sweet smile!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Thankful that Ezra enjoys reading!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

For Halloween, they decorated their pumpkins with book characters.

They were, also, allowed to dress up as a book character themselves, and Ezra a chose a runner.

Ezra's class award this year!

Despite the rough start with seven quarantines Ezra had in the beginning/middle of the year, it truly has been fantastic overall. 

So sad to see it end but thankful for all the learning and memories he has made!
