Life lately has been very busy in an extremely amazing and blessed way! As the days have moved along they have been filled with lots of fun and quality family moments as well as wonderful personal and spiritual moments with God.
I truly love recording all that happens in and around our home however, at times of real busyness, my posts seem less frequent and often times sporadic. We had a wonderful summer filled with swimming and tennis and travel and fun, fun, fun. I will update our adventures soon, but today I want to focus on school.
The girls began their new school year on August 12, 2013 in the third and first grades.
They were so thrilled to go back to school and to see their school friends again. We were excited too with the girls' new teachers.
Emma-Caroline got Ms. Murphy and Sophie got Mrs. McElroy. We have been pleased with how the school year has started and progressed.
Both girls are full speed ahead in their respective classrooms and have already gotten into the AR point winning quest. Emma-Caroline began her Harry Potter reading and has taken the first test on the Sorcerer's Stone. She now has earned 24 points just in one week of AR being open. She'll need 120 points to go around once. Her goal is to at least go around twice so she is off to a great start! Sophie is plugging along in first grade and getting stronger in her reading. Her teacher has the children writing constantly which I LOVE! I am going to have a huge stack of keepsake work that comes home from Sophie with all of that writing. 2013-2014 is off to a great start!
