Tylar is in 5th grade, and is very much enjoying being the big man on campus in his last year of elementary school! Tylar made a lot of new friends in our new neighborhood, and many of them go to his school... making for minimal first day jitters. Tylar's teacher's name is Mrs. Hartless - a very unfortunate name for a school teacher... but I am happy to say that she doesn't seem to be one who will live up to her name. We attended Tylar's back to school night the other day and learned that he has several fun activities planned for the year, with the finale being a trip to Universal Studios & Islands of Adventure in Orlando at the end of the year. The only catch is that he has to meet his 25 book reading assignment for the year and be "in good standing" with conduct and grades. What a great incentive to keep the kiddies on track with that to look forward to! Also, check out Tylar's class blog located in our other blog list.
Kenny is in 6th grade, entering middle school this year! He was so excited to start school, hoping that he'd recognize a few of the kids that he met in school at the tail end of the year last year. Good news is that there were a few familiar faces... bad news is that middle school doesn't have a playground!! Kenny's teacher's name is Mrs. Caldwell, and she seems like she'll be a wonderful teacher for Kenny. Already she has sent notes home saying what a joy Kenny is to have in class. Who wouldn't love to be around that sweet smile every day!!??
Brandon started his Junior year (YIKES) at Thomas Jefferson in Denver this year, and from what he says it sounds like things are going quite well! He is taking a few advanced classes for extra credit, and is in a weight lifting class that he seems to like quite well. I can't believe that he'll be graduating next year... where in the heck did these past almost 17 years go!!
