Today was Dax's last "first day of school". He was so excited, he said he was as excited to be a senior today as he was back when he started kindergarten. During the summer his senior class voted on shirts that all the seniors would get. It has their last name on the back. When I initially saw a picture of these shirts I thought they were crazy to pick these because they look very hot. Now that it has arrived and I have seen it, it is a lightweight although long sleeve. I think it will be ok. Dax is excited to have it.
Leading up to this day, the seniors are pretty much in charge of making smooth transitions for the rest of the school. They had a few rehearsals of the little skit they did "Oh the places you'll go" then they did small presentations in the classrooms to get the kids acquainted with everything. Dax did a great job (the teachers told him) he didn't need any guidance or corrections from the teachers, which it sounded like a lot of the seniors did. He had a great day.

Derek was off to Bogle for 8th grade. All went well.
Trey was back to Hancock for 3rd grade. He has two teachers "team teaching" Mrs. Bovard and Mrs. McCall. It sounded like both teachers wanted to spend more time with their families so they hooked up with a part-time teaching gig. I'm not fond of this setup. I never know who is in the classroom which day, communication is a pain. The kids seem to do ok with it. The parents don't. When Trey came home I asked him how his first day went and if he liked his teachers. He liked them ok, not so sure about Mrs. McCall because she refers to the kids as "sis" and "brother" for example "Hey Sis where is your homework", "What's up brother"
