Time for school

It's that time of the year. In the last few months Paul and I have been talking about putting Jonathan in school instead of homeschooling him. For now we thought it would be best for him right now in his life. Our base school is Heritage Elementary which is year round school. Therefore, July 9 was the first day of school. Jonathan only had to go to school that week for one day for evaluation. The 16th he started officially with the whole class. He has done so good. I really thought it was going to be rough taking him to his class, but he was great. He went right on in to his class and didn't look back. He loves it. I thank God for what He has done in Jonathan's life. His teacher says he is doing very good. We watched a video of what they do in class during Open House, and we were so proud of him. When the teacher ask the class a question he raised his hand and wanted to answer the question. For Jonathan that is an accomplishment. We love his teacher; she is wonderful. When I registered him for school, because I had not tested him after we finished kindergarten, the principle said he had to start in kindergarten. I was a little disappointed at first, but the more I thougt about it the more I saw it would be the best thing for him. Please continue to pray for him that he will continue to love school. And pray for Abigail also. She is not use to not having him around. She had a rough couple of weeks after he started. She was very sad because she missed him. She seems to be doing better now. Today was the beginning of Jonathan's track out. He went for 6 weeks and he is out for 3 weeks. Before he was out he already had his 3 weeks planned out-it was so funny. He was going to Nana & Papa's for 5 days, Grandma & Uncle Doug's for 5 days, and Myrtle Beach for 5 days. (Of course we can only do part of that, but it was nice to hear his plan.) Paul started classes last Thursday. Time to get into the swing of things. So here we go. I took some pictures of Jonathan when I picked him up from school and when I dropped him off for school. I hope you enjoy.
