Today was the first day of school for Glenn and Alexander. Glenn entered second grade and Alexander started VPK (which stands for Voluntary Pre-Kindergarten, a state run program ensuring all FL children age 4 get pre-school for free).
Glenn had a lot of school supplies to bring, so we put some in his backpack, Bob had a bag and I had a bag. We were able to bring it to his classroom (there's no way he would have been able to do it himself). His classroom is at the end of the same building he was in last year, but in a portable at the other end of the building, so it was comforting to him (and me) that it was easy for him to find his classroom. We met his teacher last Friday, and we're very excited about her. She's very warm and it sounds like she will be a perfect fit for Glenn. He's in a smaller class (max class size of 12) and another teacher in the next portable will be team teaching with his main teacher. Plus, they have a tutor (or paraprofessional) helping out the two classes. It's always good to have extra helpers. All the kids in his class need a little extra attention.
Alexander is at the same school as last year, but this year, it's free!!! We really like his school, but this will be the last year he'll be attending it as I can't see paying private tuition, when we are very happy with the public school Glenn goes to. Alexander was very happy to be with his friends from last year. He also had another Alexander in his class today; he thought that was amazing and exciting.
Here are some pictures of them that I took before we went off to school:
