Keagan is in second grade this year. He told me it was a great first day of school because "after all of the rules, we went straight to work. Straight to work." Lunch was also a highlight. Some things never change from year to year.
Evan is in fourth grade. I sent him to school happy because his science teacher had told him he would be able to build a rocket. He never likes school; always finds something unfair, unjust about the process. This time it was unfair that the teacher had built up his expectations only to disappoint him when he learned the rocket would be made from construction paper. The first week of school he read two chapter books. I think I find something unfair, unjust about school.
May the next 179 days begin with the same big smiles.
