The kids officially have the first week of the 2020-2021 school year under their belts. True, they attended school from home, but they were still "in" school!!
Conor says his first week of fifth grade was "a fun week that was a good learning experience." (Not sure if that means he's done now - haha!) He thinks his teacher (Ms. Adler) is just about the best thing ever, which isn't a surprise. We figured that out when Annika was in her class two years ago.
Annika has decided her first week of seventh grade was "eventful and tiring." She said the biggest plus of being back in school is seeing her school friends, even if it is only on the computer screen. We also found out last night that Annika will be in the higher of the two math classes offered to 7th graders - way to go, Sis!!
Both kids are holding out hope that they'll be able to attend school in person at some point during the school year. (Eric and I aren't holding our breath on that, but who knows??)
Because time is SO odd these days, it wasn't until right before bed that I remembered we had yet to take the kids' first day of school photos. So, please excuse the fact they look a bit tired and discombobulated in the shots below. They were. So was I. :) I still need to take the photos of them wearing their "Class of" shirts... am hoping to get to that this weekend (assuming the wildfire smoke that is currently hovering in the area lifts enough to make breathing outside a bit more comfortable ... ahhh, 2020 - you have been an interesting year!)
