Meet your teacher day

Today was meet your teacher day at the boys school. Micah is going into 2nd grade and Jacob is starting kindergarten.

Micah's teacher is Mrs. Esmera-Carter. This year they put all the GT kids (gifted and talented) in one class, so Micah really liked that. He also has a few friends in his class from last year and a few boys from scouts so he is happy. Mrs. Gutierrez, his GT teacher (yes her name is Jennifer Gutierrez, crazy, huh?) said that this year she will be giving them independant work that they need to do on their own outside of GT class. Micah has his first day of school tomorrow.

Jacob's teacher is Mrs. Kouchi. It was so wierd for me to bring him to his class and put his stuff away at his desk, I felt a little emotional, but no tears. Jacob was very excited and felt so big. Starting tomorrow they begin kindergarten assessment so Jacob does not have to go to school until Monday when it is his turn. When testing is done they split the class into group A and group B. So first group A goes to school and then group B. Jacob is in group B so his first day of kindergarten will be August 11.

Both teachers seem great so it seems like we will have a great year.
