This is getting done a little late. I guess taking two grad. classes, working full time and teaching part-time online will make you a little busy...oh and those two kids. August was the end of summer for us. We only had a few days free the whole month before school started. Since I got moved to reading, I had three days of training in Red Oak, Ia. It was good and I enjoyed it. I am also really enjoying teaching reading.
At the beginning of August we went to helicopter days at the Air and Space Museum. We watched helicopters land and take off and then toured the museum. The boys were excited to see the Star Wars exhibit there.
Charlie started school first. He was beginning first grade. I couldn't believe he was in first grade, but he was pretty excited to go back to Ackerman and see his friends. Charlie is really good at math and spelling and making friends!
Then Jack started his first day of preschool at St. Albert over in Council Bluffs. We decided to send him there, since it's right by AL, where I teach. It's gone much better than I thought it would. He cries a little bit some days when I drop him off, but it's getting better and last week, he even played ball with a boy in his class at drop off. He's acting so much older and learning so much. He's good with numbers.
Later in the month, we went to Rosenblatt for a Royal's game with Star Wars as the theme. The boys loved it and had their pictures taken with everyone.
At the end of the month was the Millard Days parade. Charlie is now in cub scouts, so he wanted to walk with his pack and their float. Doug got suckered into being the tiger on the float. This meant that he had to wear an inflatable tiger costume on a float on a windy and hot day. He said he almost blew over a few times. Quite funny!
I still am not computer savvy enough to move my photos to the correct places, so they are staying where they are!
