Meet and Greet the Teachers

We started off the morning by going to Jasmine's school. After waiting FOREVER in the hot, hot sun, they let us into the cafeteria to wait FOREVER some more (along with the rest of the students from that school, their parents and their siblings - I'm not a fan of crowds!). Finally, she got her schedule. A quick glance and WHAT? She's in Algebra 1...she's only in 7th grade. I took that in 9th grade. Wow, OK (I guess she took a math placement test at the end of last year and that's what she placed in. You go girl!). We toured the school, finding all of her classes. And yes, they are all in the 7th grade hall like I told her they'd probably be.

We were done by 11 am, just in time to catch Charlie for lunch. We went to one of our faves, Naps Southern Grill. Yum Yum! We had an hour to waste before the next school's orientation so we got some ice cream from Baskin Robbins. It was such a hot day so it helped cool off the girls (I don't eat ice cream. One thought of milk products makes my stomach turn.).

Finally, 1:00 rolled around. We checked out Maya and Kiera's class lists. They were both happy with the teacher they received. I had suggested Maya's teacher since he worked with her all last year in special ed. He has a teacher's spot this year so it worked out really well since she won't be getting services this year. He's going to watch out for her and he said he doesn't think she'll have any problems starting off the school year (obviously he doesn't remember, the first couple of months Maya really struggles.)

It's our last year of school in Okinawa. We love DoDDS schools and hope to still be going to DoDDS schools until the girls finish high school. It's our plan anyway. Let's see what God's plan is for us.
