I’m going to be real honest here, I was pretty hesitant about sneak-a-peek this year.  Last Saturday we were able to check the elementary school teachers online and wouldn’t you know it…neither Reece or Drew got the teacher they hoped for and not even one close friend in their class.  And the final kicker was all of their friends ended up together with the teachers they wanted.  Crap!  This is really not ideal when you are 9 and 7 years old and the most important thing in life is your teacher and the friends you sit by in the classroom.

I’ve never requested a teacher for any of my kids and I’m sticking to my guns.  I truly believe most things in life happen for a reason and this could likely be the best school year ever for these two.  How could your teachers not fall in love with you guys!?

One thing they both fell in love with, was this little mini couch in Reece’s 2nd grade classroom!

Meet Mrs. Anderson, 2nd grade teacher at Manchester Park…

Lot’s of the kids wanted Mrs. Anderson and bonus…she only has 18 students in the class! We thought for sure we would get Mr. Bangs because he had all 3 of our other kiddos.  I guess it was time for a change!

Meet Miss Duke (soon to be Mrs. Perez), Drew’s 4th grade teacher…

I asked Drew to take a picture in his favorite part of his new classroom and sadly, he went straight to the classroom iPads!  He also checked out the classroom book library pretty well…so there’s still hope!

I can’t wait to see the awesome things you two do this school year!  I love you to pieces!

XOXO,

Mommy
