First Day of School

8/16/2021

 
Madeline started kindergarten this year. She was so excited at Back-to-School night on Friday where we got to see her classroom and meet her teacher, Mrs. Boeding. She found her seat and beamed at her pink pencil box. She loved the dollhouse and told me how excited she was to play with that. On Monday Madeline had her first day of school while the older girls started the next day. However, Emma and Abby agreed to get dressed up in their first day of school outfits to take some photos with Madeline before we drove her to school. Mike, Peter, Abby, Myisha and I all drove Madeline to school and walked her to meet her new class. She was a little nervous but also excited. There were no tears when we said goodbye and only smiles as she followed her teacher to her new classroom. Emma and Andrew would have been there, but Emma had to be at the high school to help with the new freshman and Andrew had to be at work. 
 
Abby and Emma had good first days as well, although they told me later that their first day of school wasn’t as exciting as Madeline’s first day. The middle school and high school teachers don’t waste any time and they came home with homework and many syllabuses to sign.

First DAY of School

8/25/2020

 
​The first day of school was online this year. None of us anticipated that this school year would look this way, but COVID-19 has really shaken things up. The kids will start a hybrid learning format the middle of September! They will attend in-person on certain days and online learning the other days. So far online hasn't been all that bad. I get to be a fly on the wall to see and hear what my kids are doing and learning. I loved listening to Emma and Peter play their instruments during Jazz. Even on another level of the house I can still hear it and I love it. One added bonus is the ability to login to class from any remote destination. Emma took advantage of the Teams app on her phone and logged into class right after her doctor apt while she was still in the car. How cool is that? During their 5-minute breaks I get cool insights into their day. That is something that I don't get very often when they are in the classroom at their school. As for Madeline, she just goes with the flow. She is loving having lots of school time with me and quietly helping me clean up the house while the kids are studying. Eventually they will need to get back into the classroom, but for now, we are looking at the positive side of online schooling during this COVID year.

First Day of School

8/15/2019

 
​The kids had a pretty fun summer filled with various camps and a big family reunion on the Kelsch side of the family.  After all the adventures, the kids were actually ready to head back to school just to see their friends again and to be social.  This year will be challenging for each one of the kids but for different reasons.  One thing is for sure, I know they will all rise to the occasion and be successful this school year!

Abby was excited to finally join the ranks of the older kids by joining Emma at Challenger Middle School.  She was the most excited to be starting this adventure with her A-team friends: Addy, Avery, August, Anna, and Olivia and to be on a team with some pretty great teachers.  On the first day of school she was not interested in Mike and I walking her to the bus stop.  She quickly sped down the sidewalk and waved without looking back.  Abby started school the day before the other kids.

First Day of School

After a very busy summer of fun vacationing in California and Utah, attending camps, going on hikes, and participating in swim team, the kids were reluctant to go back to school.  However, I know that Andrew was excited to start his Senior Year, Emma and Peter were excited to NOT be in the youngest grade in their respective schools, and Abby was thrilled to be at the top of her school as a 5th grader.  Abby was the only one to start school on August 15th this year.  The rest of the kids started a day later on August 16th.  Everyone had a great first day of school and were pretty excited to see their friends, have new classes and teachers, and have a fresh start.
