First Day of School!!!

 With the uncertainty of COVID, we didn't know if we would be starting school in person.  We were very grateful when our school district decided to have in person learning!  For the first two weeks, the kids will go half days to adjust to the mask and hot temperatures.  (They can't have fans in the classrooms).  Chase is in 12th grade.  I hope he's able to have a senior year.  Bridger is in 8th grade.  Eight and ninth grade are at the middle school.  Bridger is able to catch a ride with Chase since their schools are across the street and Bridger's starts 10 minutes after Chase.  Tanner is in first grade!  It worked out really well doing half days for two weeks because it helped Tanner adjust to full days.  

Tanner started off in Miss Barnes class.  Two weeks into the school year, we got a phone call from the school.  There was an opening in the Spanish Dual Immersion program at our school.  At first, I was hesitant because I was nervous about moving classes.  I called Amy Jo.  She's a teacher at that school and I used to work with her in primary.  I got her opinion about the program.  Originally we really wanted Tanner to be in the program, but when he didn't get chosen (he was the third alternate) I took it as a sign that it wasn't meant to be.  After talking to Amy Jo and praying about it, we decided to switch him. He has Miss Day for his English time and then Señora Arias for Spanish time.  Tanner was super excited about being in the Spanish class.  Tanner was in his best friend Mack's class.  This was such a tender mercy from the Lord.  The Lord knew that they needed to be together.  Tanner adjusted really quickly.  He's loving both teachers.
