First Week of School Under Our Belt

First day of school 2009! Jayden 14 Casen 8
The first week of school and all the back to school anticipation is over, and the weekend is finally here! Casen LOVES his teacher. Mrs. Garrett is the perfect teacher for him! Caring, nurturing, and most of all loves her job. She is the teacher that every child should get to have, I am just so thankful that Casen has her! It is promising to be a good school year for Casen. Well some of you may know or not know but we are having Jayden repeat 8th grade. No, not because he did poorly (he got all A's) or failed the TAKS test (actually commended on every one!) But because he just turned 14 this summer, very young to be going to high school. He is not any of the same courses, he is advanced or pre-ap in EVERY class, he is actually taking 3 high school credit courses, ones he would actually be taking in high school if he were there. The only bummer about all of this is that he has to sit out the first 6 weeks of football, due to UIL rules. He had A LOT of friends going into 8th grade so that wasn't an issue, thank god! We are just hoping and praying that we made the right decision thus far no regrets.
