A Little Slice

An hour later Slick, Giada and friend

This week we've been registering kiddos for school next year...helped us feel like summer is right around the corner!  Thought a good little slice for the week and for posterity's sake might be a glance at what classes they have signed up for...three youngest don't have as many options as the two oldest!

First day of school 2010  Bernina and a friend off to 9th grade

Junior:  Preschool at our favorite place...they've all gone to the same preschool.  We love you Miss Jennifer! Plus he will continue "Talking Time" through Headstart and the school district.  Still working on that speech thing.  He is coming along well.  Talking a lot more when he wants to but just sounds pretty sloppy (that's what they call it...a sloppy talker)...been stuttering a lot lately.  The speech therapist says that we don't need to worry about that now.  Not unusual to hear a 3 year old with a stuttering issue but if it is still happening next year we will have to work on that.   

Queen Bubs:  Kindergarten here she comes!  Might opt for afternoon though.  Never done that before.  Still haven't quite decided...pros and cons.  Heard that sometimes afternoon class is a little more mild-mannered and they seem to get more done in the same amount of time...But if she does afternoon on preschool days she and Junior won't have much time together (nor will I have a kid-free couple of hours).  Still leaning towards the afternoon thing.  She could walk home with Slick which would be fun.  Crazy part is that Junior's preschool is longer than Queen Bubs' kindergarten class...go figure.  Kindergarten around these parts is only about 2 hours and 35 minutes 4 days a week and only 2 hours on Fridays...

Slick:  Moving on to fourth grade.  Seriously...I can't believe she is already that old! She'll be in the wing of the school with the fifth and sixth graders...whoa! When I hear her in the computer room practicing her typing skills it kinda freaks me out!  Especially 'cause it just seems like yesterday Bernina was doing the exact same typing assignments and I thought she was SO old! Slick is gonna be headed to college before I know it!  Stop girl...don't grow up so fast.

Giada:  Junior High!  She is gonna try out the following:  English, Honors Science (which means another year of science fair...yuck!...but she is got the science fair down pat...this year she won at the school, at the district and was invited to the regional fair but we decided not to go to that...), Pre-Alegbra, Keyboarding Applications, General Music/Choir, Art I, Utah Studies, Honors Reading, Career/Tech Exploration, P.E. and something else I can't remember!  Giada has mixed feelings about Junior High.  A little nervous but pretty excited.  She sure got dolled up cute last night when we headed over for registration.  Looked pretty grown up.  I know she is gonna do great!  

Bernina:  High School Finally!  Signed up for Honors English, Honors Pre-Calculus, Intro to Health Sciences, Spanish I, Honors Chemistry, Release Time (LDS Seminary), AP European History, Debate I, Beginning Girls Choir, an online Fit for Life class  and summer Drivers Ed (yep, kinda crazy...she will have her permit in less than a month).  Bernina is kinda a nerd when it comes to school.  She likes homework...crazy girl.  In fact, as I type she is attending the State Math Competition!  Taking a two and a half hour math test...plus an hour each way on the bus...does that sound like your kind of fun?
