Back to school

Josh went back to school today. All was fine this morning until we got to the school and were walking to the classroom. He burst into tears and told me he didn't want to go.
I think it was because he is in a new classroom with a new teacher and its a 3 grade composite class. He is in grade 4 and there are also 5's and 6's in with him as well. Some of the kids in his class I have never laid eyes on before in all the time we have been there even tho we have a small school.
His teacher is lovely. Mr McLeod. I think Josh will really benefit from having some older and other much older kids around him. Plus having a male teacher is good for him as well.
Last year he had a female teacher and while she was lovely Josh needs someone who won't take any of his silly behaviour in the class room. He needs that authority figure and I know his teacher this year will give him what he needs.
I am looking forward to seeing Josh improve this year and start settling down a bit.

Ella goes back tomorrow but I went and met her teacher this morning and told her not to expect Ella til tomorrow. She seems really lovely as well and I really think that Ella will enjoy being in her class.

My back to school plans have been put on hold once again. I was disappointed at first but there is always next year. I might do a TAFE course tho, just to keep me from getting too bored.

Well I will leave it there as I can hear Patty.
