It feels as though summer has just started and now our boys are headed back to school. Wednesday was opening day for Poineer School of the Arts. Pioneer is a special, magnet school that has designed its learning experiences around art themes. Research shows that students retain the stuff they learn when the breaks are shorter. Our kids have longer Thanksgiving, Christmas, and Spring Breaks, as well as additional "track breaks" in addition to a shortened summer break.
Ryan was so kind to let his sis "hang" with him while he connected with old friends.
Will was so anxious to get on with the first grade, that he woke up early and was just pacing--counting the minutes until we would leave for school.
Can you guess what Abby's favorite subject will be?
(She will begin Pre-School at Cole Valley Christian, in Boise, at the end of August)
It was a terrific day, capped off with a quick dip in the pool before we headed off to Vacation Bible School. It is so great that our boys love learning and love their school. Lisa and I are pleased with Pioneer and excited to see what the new school year has in store for our kids.
