School has been under way for nearly a month now and we're now in a pretty good routine.  THANKFULLY!!!

Rees' teacher this year happens to be the same teacher that Jonah had last year.  She is AWESOME at taking pictures of the students several times a week.  And she always makes sure she gets ALL the students.  This is really not necessary and I realize that it takes an extra effort of the part of a teacher who does this ... BUT ... it IS REALLY NICE!!!

It's just great to be able to get a glimpse of our child's school day and the work he's doing.

With Project Lead The Way, they do a lot of hands-on activities.  This really seems to get the kids engaged and amplifies their interest and learning capabilities.

Each year, the elementary school holds a Walk-A-Thon.

All the classes participate!

This is Rees' 1st Grade Class.

The kids get a strand of special beads ... one for each lap they complete.

This is Jonah's 2nd Grade Class.  His teacher this year does not take all the photos like the teacher from last year but another parent took these photos ... how nice!!
