First Day of School 2014

After a great summer we were ready to get back in the routine of a new school year.  This is an exciting new school year for us. 

 

For the first time ever Kai and Rori get to go to the same school together.  We have worked super hard to get to this point and feel so grateful for all of the people who have helped Rori be ready for this next big step.  She is so excited about it and so are we.  Although there is some nervousness on our part, we feel she is well prepared and it is time.  We have met with her teacher a few times in preparation and she has been very nice and seems very open to doing whatever she can to accommodate Rori's needs.  She will also have a deaf itinerant teacher who will meet with her once a week to help with the transition which we are really pleased about it.  It will be so wonderful to have Kai and Rori together seeing each other around the building.  We also love that Rori will get to be with kids from the neighborhood.  It is an exciting time!

 

 

Kai got a wonderful teacher for 3rd grade.  We have heard great things about her and she seems so warm and fun.  He also has some of his best buddies from last year in his class so the transition this year seems very easy.  Kai enjoys school and is all read to go.

 

Zuri is also super excited that it is finally her turn to go to school.  She will be going to preschool 2 mornings a week.  We are sending her to the same preschool that Kai went to and we loved.  When we moved to Vegas this was one of the many things that was really hard for us to leave behind.  Zuri is so social and confident, so she will eat up every bit of preschool.
