The kids met their new teachers today. They seemed simultaneously underwhelmed at the open house experience, and yet relieved to know more about the coming year. The teachers, not surprisingly, all seemed nice.
Both John and Margaret will have male teachers this year, which should be a nice change of pace for them. Mr. Reed (John) has 4 kids/step-kids in his family, too, and likes to play soccer. He should be fun.
Margaret apparently had quite an interesting conversation with Mr. Dexter about the books she likes to read, before we arrived from John's classroom to meet him. I think Margaret (or Meg, as she has chosen to go by in school this year) will have fun with that class, also. The "personal" web page about Mr. Dexter indicates someone who loves literature (as she does) and is thoughtful (as she is). I have high hopes.
James, but not the rest of us, met his homeroom teacher, Ms. Nam. He gave us a characteristically uninformative response:
"What was she like?
"Fine."
Did she seem nice?"
"Uh-huh."
He went in earlier than the rest of us to get a tour of his classroom areas and was able to pick up a schedule and the like. He seems a bit concerned about figuring out the complexity of the schedule and switches, but I think he will work it out.
