I have never let my schooling interfere with my education. ~Mark Twain

Natalie's first day of junior high in her words...

I went to Language arts first. We go over some class expectations then we have an assembly for the 7th graders going over security guards and stuff like that. Then I go 2nd period which is world geography which is the only teacher that lets us have gum. Then i go to art. I had a hard time finding that room. Then I went to reading . Where we just went over the lunch room stuff. Then I went to lunch. And then there is this girl sitting alone so I decided to sit by her. She was new to the district her name was Natalie too. Then I went to outside to hang out. Then I went to live science and that teacher scares me because he is strict and mean and treats us like we are two. Then I went to pre-algebra. Then I went to my locker to get my stuff and we all met by the office and walked to the middle school.

Natalie is trying out for volley ball this is how it is going according to Natalie...

It's exhausting. The second day is a lot easier then the first. It kicks your can (mom here: I asked how the girls did and Natalie said it was butt kicking and I thought she said butt picking boy was I confused) and Joy: I recommend going there to work out.Nichole's first day of Junior High in her words...

So first we walked into the school. Then I went to my locker and opened it up. Michela came over to me and said "What do you have first hour?" and I said Choir and she said "me too." Umm when we got to choir we did attendance which took 25 minutes because there was 80 people. We did one warm up and then left. Then I headed to science. We basically talked about class rules and then left. Then I headed to world geography which is where I got my agenda and then we went over the rules and then left. Then I headed to gym which took forever for me to find for some random reason. We sat down on the bleachers. Went over some rules and then went into the locker room. When we got in the locker room we went over some rules looked at the office inside the locker room and then the bell rang for lunch. Then I changed into my gym shoes because my other shoes were killing me. Then when we got back from lunch I changed back into my other pair of shoes and then went to pre-algebra. We pretty much just tossed a bunch of balls around. We went over half of the rules (I wonder if you learn about half the rules in pre algebra). We had to fill out this little paper that I had to just turn in and then left. Then I went to language arts. We took attendance and someone walked in with a bunch of flowers for the teacher (lucky teacher Nate are you reading this?) Went over some rules. Then it was the end of the day. Then walked to Hacker middle school.

Nichole is also taking Volley ball this is what she thinks of it...

Tiring, ugh hurts my shoulders. and more tiring. But I like it.

The first day of school in moms words...

I still am in shock that I have kids in Junior High. On top of that we are packing lunches for the kids. They had sandwiches, go-gurt, applesauce, water and kit-kat for lunch today. It was weird being by myself today and I look forward to the weekend.
