School has started and so has the HECTIC calendar!


I know that I am a week late on this post but I have been busy working at the school as a Teacher Assistant in the Self Contained Classroom.  I love it!  I want to go to school to be a Special Education Teacher.  So, here are the pictures from the first day of school and information on each Travis Kid. 


Rianne 10 Year's Old 

She loves middle school.  She attends Busbee Creative Arts Academy.  She had a problem with one student bullying her in the first few days, but all of that has been taken care of.  She loves her teachers.  The only thing she HATES is the homework.  She works on it every night until about 5ish.  But, she will get the hang of it.  She is in all Advanced classes.  She is in Cadette's in Girl Scouts this year.  She has decided to continue Jazz and no longer play soccer this year.  She is "working" on Monday and Wednesday in a program called About Face.  It is a program that helps middle school children learn how to balance a checking account, deposit money, computer skills and homework.  She gets paid $15 every session she is attends.  She is happy to earn her own money.


Michael 8 Years Old

He has Ms. Mann and Mrs. Coker.  He likes them both and has had a great start to the new year as a 3rd grader.  He is a Bear in Cub Scouts this year.  Soccer is starting in a few weeks and he cannot wait.  He is moving to U10 this year, so that means a bigger field.  He really enjoys playing all positions but I think goalie is his favorite; and he plays it very well.  He also wants to Mixed Martial Arts.  Trying to find a program that would fit into our schedules for him to participate in.  Uncle Billy thanks again for his book bag, he LOVES it!  He proudly tells everyone that his Godfather got it for him. 



Robert 7 Years Old

He has Mrs. Skinner, Rianne's teacher from last year.  He really seems to enjoy her, but has had a rocky start.  It has started settling down, but I think the early schedule has really been difficult for him to adjust too.  He is a Wolf in Cub Scouts.  He is also playing soccer this year.  Last year, he decided he want to take a year off from all sports.  Mike and I told him that he could take one year off but he would have to play one sport starting in the fall and he chose soccer.  I think he will do well.  He lost his top front tooth yesterday.  It has been loose for quite a while.  I think for his fall pictures he will not have either top front teeth.  The other tooth is ready also. 


So excited to go, they really didn't want to take another picture. 

I hope that everyone has enjoyed there Back to School Days.
