First day of School August 2012

This school year was the hardest of them all.  I had a freshman that I had to get to seminary every morning so she couldn't ride the bus, the other three went to the Legacy Traditional Charter School and they have no buses.  And to top it off, McKenna was half day kindergarten so I had to go back and pick her up.  Luckily we were able to carpool.  Even with the carpooling, there were days that I was driving all three carpools.  I only had two mornings a month that I didn't have to drive the kids.  I cherished those mornings.  Even with all the driving, I wouldn't change it.  The girls LOVE their school and I love how patriotic they are and that they challenge the kids.  It is an accelerated program where they are teaching a year ahead.  So even though the Olivia is in 6th, she would be doing 7th grade math, except she goes to math with the seventh graders so she is actually doing 8th grade math.  And the same with Maya - she is in 4th grade but she goes with the 5th graders for math so she is doing 6th grade math.  They love it and enjoy what they are learning.  And I'm glad they are willing to fit them with a class that fits their abilities.  We've been in some schools that won't let the kids move up in a subject.
 
Alexa - Freshman at Marana High School
(Can she really be this old?)
 
 McKenna - Kindergarten
Teacher:  Mrs. De LaCerna
 Livie - 6th Grade
Teacher:  Mrs. Babico
 
 Maya - 4th Grade
Teacher:  Ms. Scheier/Mr. Ellis
Half way through the school year, they dissolved Ms. Scheier's class and Maya went to Mr. Ellis' class.  We were sad that she had to leave Ms. Scheier's class but she absolutely loved Mr. Ellis' class.
It turned out to be a good experience for her after all.
 I just don't think they get any cuter.

You think they can't get any cuter, but somehow they do.
