Big Kids' School

Andrew's day went fairly well. He got the schedule he wanted. Physics and Algebra II have him a bit worried, English he's good at but it's not his favorite. However, German II, Honors American History and Men's Team Sports should suit him very well. The sports class is an every day P.E. class that is very popular with the guys. It's right in between physics and algebra so should provide some fun and stress relief. Then he ends the day with study hall which he wanted so he could get a lot of his homework done before coming home. He has one teacher from last year and said he saw quite a few kids he knew.
Jordan did great. Her school has all the kids walk this big square hallway until the morning bell rings. It's called the West Walk and Jordan said it was fun. It gets the kids moving and they can chat while they walk. She has at least one friend in each class and lots of kids she knows from Smithton. She has the regular english, math, American history, P.E. and science, plus german and art. The art looks really cool; pottery, papermaking, beadwork on a loom, cartooning, drawing, architecture, I can't even remember all the stuff. She said lunchtime was a little crazy and crowded but otherwise seemed very pleased with the day. Oh, and a blessing for a teenage girl; PE is last period so if they get sweaty they at least get to go home right after :-)
