Today was Wm's first day of 4th grade!! He was pretty excited! We went to Meet the Teacher yesterday and got a big packet o' info. Fourth grade is serious business. There is a pretty intense class website and Wm hands in his homework electronically. All the students have laptops for use at school, apparently. Wm's teacher seems really nice! AND, the bonus: every single one of his friends is in his class this year! He is THRILLED. In fact, one of his besties is sitting right next to him! Wm goes, "that won't last long." HA! We aren't exactly sure what's happening, as far as Wm's classes go. He will be in homeroom (which is also Science) for most of the morning, then he goes to Social Studies next door - but he is supposed to also have pull-out gifted classes for Math and Reading. We'll just have to see how that unfolds! The kids change classes as a big group, so all Wm's friends will stay with him. Most will also be in his pull-out gift classes, so he will be surrounded by amigos.
Wm is getting SO BIG!
