Carter is in Ms. Miller's class (and switches to Ms. Smith's class two times a day). This is his first year with two teachers. Ms. Miller seems awesome! She has been teaching third grade at the school since it opened six years ago. Her kids are in high school and college so she is the most experienced teacher we've had so far. She has lots of energy and is super sweet. Ms. Smith is new to our school but has taught for a couple of years already. I haven't spoken much to her but she seems nice and I'm sure Carter will like her.
Rylan is in Ms. Tullis's class. She is also new to our school but has taught for six years. She seems super organized (yay!) and serious about teaching (unlike Rylan's teacher last year). When I met her I got the impression that she is very nice but not lovey on the kids. Rylan said this afternoon that she is strict. But I'm sure she is setting rules and expectations early and the kids will warm up to her. I'm excited for Rylan to have a better teacher this year!
Carter is so excited because two of his best buddies (Whit and Eduardo) are in his class (their desks are even in the same grouping). He also has a couple of other good friends from previous years in the class as well as our neighbor.
Rylan didn't get any of his friends in his class but there are two girls and a boy that he knows from his class last year (the girls are at his table). But he said he made a new friend who played with him at recess (as well as with most of the boys that were together in Rylan's class last year).
We are all looking forward to a great year!
