Ok, so that was a little cheesy...the title was suposed to be like the song, On the Road Again....yeah, well. The point is we are NOT on the road anymore and are trying to get ready for the next big chapter in our lives. The Next School Year!
We are not sure what the new year may bring. I have requested my teachers and we will see what happens. I requested Cali for Mrs. Rymer but so did all the other mormon mom's in town and they can't put all of the "good kids" in one class...so she may get another teacher...we will see.
For Cannon I requested Mrs. Hackney. He had Mr. Hackney last year and did well and Colton had Mrs. Hackney and liked her so I figured it would work out well. With all the craziness and goings on at Appleby though it may be different than expected. I hear that they might have Mr. Hackney's 2nd grade and Mrs. Hackney's third grade class combined into a great big combo supreme class with both Mr and Mrs. Hackney at the helm...so we will see what the new year brings.
Colton is going into 4th grade and is a gate kid (able learners program) so he is supposed to go to Mrs. Schnider's class but we requested that he be in Ms. Vega's class - so we will see. Fourth grade is a rough transition either way - they expect more out of ya, so we will just have to see how things go. I don't have a problem getting Colton to read but I do have issues with the AR testing...I am sure it will work out.
Andrew. Well, this is the first year that the 6th graders will be at the elementary (they were at the jr. high in recent years). I am glad for this as the jr. high is, well...sleezy, honestly. Anyways, that is a whole other topic :) Maybe another day we can explore that. So appleby has brought one 6th grade teacher from the jr. high and is hiring a new one. Honestly, I have heard that the current 6th grade teachers are not spectacular...so I am hoping he gets into the new teacher's classroom.
So that is the kids. Aidan will be home with momma. There will, hopefully, be some kid swapping goin' on - so that I can volunteer one day a week at the school.
And then the BIG news.
MY School Schedule! YIKES! I graduated from PVC and so now I have to move on, and unfortunately the closest school to "move on" to is 1 1/2 - 2 hours away. Blah! So, I got one online class but the others I will need to take face to face. So fridays I will be heading to Palm Desert and the sad thing is - I won't even have time for shopping cuz I only get a 1 hour break from 9am to 9pm. That is one way to lose weight I guess ;) CSU is on quarters so it is only 10 weeks long and hopefully I will get through it just fine. I am honestly not worried about the academics...I have been at a University before and know what to expect - but the driving and being out of town might just get the better of me. Not to mention that saturday morning is pretty much gonna be a wash. I won't get home till 11pm-ish so I will be exhausted I am sure.
Ok, one more big school news...
Adam will be teaching to distance ed Accounting classes this semester at PVC...it is exciting and sure to be lots of fun. I think that it is a great way for him to get a little variety and challenge in his regular routine. He is looking forward to it.
Well, that is the update for now. I will get some pictures up at some point but will back date them to when they happened so be on the lookout for that!

Look at how involved you are - requesting teachers and all that. And that would be so crazy, to have a 2nd/3rd grade combined class. Weird. I can't believe you'll be in classes from 9 am to 9 pm! You are nutty! So busy.
WoW! Life will be busy, but remember to slow down long enough to smell the roses! You CAN be everything to everybody, just not ALL at once! Love you girl! Thanks for the good times this week. See you soon. One of these Fridays I'll meet you for lunch in Palm Desert.
