O.K. so not only do the summers fly by but so do the years. Taylor started 4th grade this fall and Emma & Ella are in 1st grade. We decided to separate Emma & Ella this year which has definitely worked out for the best. They have not been bothered by it one bit and it has given them the opportunity to really mature and develop individually. They still get to participate in many activities together and have lunch and recess together, as well. Emma is doing great and is excelling in reading and language. She is one of the few in her class that is given more challenging work. Ella....well, what can I say?! She is Ella! She does a great job when focused on her work but would much rather be socializing with her friends. Taylor is doing great in 4th grade. The teachers in 4th grade definitely make the students more responsible and accountable for getting and doing their own assignments which will better prepare them for middle school where she will go next year.
