August 14, 2019 marked the first day of Middle School for Logan.  He actually shared with us the day before that he was nervous; he was worried about changing into PE outfit and how to deal with the locker.  On the other hand, he did not seem to be concerned about having 6 classes or walking to each classroom which was what I was thinking about.  On this first day, I accompanied Logan and walked together to school; we walked past all of his classrooms and finally ended in front of the gym for his first period, PE.  I then said goodbye to Logan and he started his new school year.  Since then, Cole has been coming to our house every morning to walk with Logan.  Logan would either walk home on his own or with Cole.  Logan seems to adapt quite well to this new middle school life.  He has not had any negative things to share and never really complained about anything.  He does enjoy hanging out of his group of friends during lunchbreak.

   Connor’s first day as a 4th Grader went well also.  He was very excited for this day to come as he kept saying he missed his friends.  This year the school supplies were being funded by the state, thus we did not have to haul the big bag of supplies like we had every year.  As soon as we walked to school, Connor went in line and talked with his friends, then he was off to his classroom.  After school, Connor goes to Math Enrichment for the afternoon; he is comfortable there as well.  Connor told us that his new teacher is very nice, and he seems to be happy back to school.
