First Day of Distance Learning

No Comments

We may be starting with Distance Learning but we still have to take a first-day-of-school photo!!

I remember what a milestone it was for Janie to start Kindergarten. Take a look at a comparison to her first day of K photo!! Both have the same cheesy excited smile. So cute.

After the photos, we all went back inside and hopped on their first Zoom class. Ms. Wells looks so nice and Peanut seemed to follow along just fine.

He made a First Day of Kindergarten crown and name tag just like Janie did!

Here he is wearing his gearn with the rest of the class.

This was Ms. Wells reading the class a story about Chester, their class mascot.

Here is Janie in her first class with Ms. Suzuki. She is an older and more experienced teacher with lots of rules and instructions. 3rd grade is a big jump from 2nd grade! What’s nice is that Janie’s old classmates from Ms. Bliss’ class are all back together again!

Kindergarten Packet Pick-up

No Comments

Today was Peanut’s packet pick-up day. It was another drive-by event.

When it was time to receive his materials, we asked if this teacher was Ms. Wells and it was!! It was a great coincidence that his assigned teacher was the one that gave him his packet!!! She looks really nice!

Peanut got all his school supplies, a Chrome book, and materials for the first 4 weeks of school.

This is what was in his first week packet. So exciting!

Back to Aquatech

No Comments

After the inital shutdown due to shelter-in-place orders, Aquatech opened back up in mid-June. Now that the kids are back from their “summer camp”, we got them started again.  They have limited capacity, less number of lanes used,  no showers or changing stalls available, and the instructors wear a face shield. It’s also limited to one caregiver at a time with a one-way enter/exit protocol. Glad they can continue their lessons safely. Also thankful they were able to swim a bunch this summer at Uncle Jason’s community pool.

Food Trucks

No Comments

One of Peanut’s favorite places to get lunch is the Off the Grid food truck event that is at Southshore Center every Saturday. He always gets the Southern-fried catfish and cajun fries. He got a piggyback ride while we waited for our food today.
