A.J. made a big leap this year, too. He's a 4th grader now, but because of numbers of students, is in a 4th/5th split class. There are 8 4th graders, and 28 5th graders. Some of those kids are huge! He knows half of the 4th graders in his class, but none are his close friends. He also stays an extra 25 minutes each day, which seems like forever to him. His teacher is Mr. Bender. He's never had a man before, so this is new territory, but he seems like a lot of fun.
We always take a picture by the sign. On the first day, and the last day.

Wow, I can't believe 4th grade. I hate that AJ has such a big class, but I'm sure he'll pick up all the fifth grade stuff, so it could turn out ok. Are we going backwards in education or what.
ReplyDeleteLevi will own the class before the week is up---what do you mean, make friends.
Those are definitely the two best looking students in the school.
I'm with A.J. 25 minutes can be forever--especially when they are the last 25 minutes! I remember watching the clock in school. ;)
ReplyDeleteHave fun at school!!!
ReplyDeleteI love back to school! Although I've never heard of a split clas. I can imagine that would be a bit intimidating to be one of theose 4th graders. AJ's got some moxie though, so he'll do great.
