Maia's school adventures

Well I thought I would divide Maia and Evan's school adventures into separate blogs.

Maia missed the bus the first day. It was scheduled to come at 6:50, but we have learned in three days of school that Maia should be waiting in our drive way by 6:40, because he bus driver shows up at any time! Jeff took her the first day and besides forgetting what her bus number was I expect the school expects things like that, she made it home just fine.

The next day Maia got on the bus on time but got off at the wrong school! She didn't know (and neither did I) that they bus junior high and intermediate students together with buses stopping at Willow Wood Junior High first then going on to Northpointe. Maia is smart enough to go to the office and approach a secretary who directed her to a bus that would take her to school and she made it without being late. Turns out another little boy (who was red faced from crying) did the same thing.

Maia is sitting at a table in class with three Mexican students who are bilingual. She seems to be getting along with a girl named Daisy. She has also reported that there are two other Asians besides her and she has become friends with a girl named Valerie. She has also said that at lunch there are three tables for each class. The Mexican (or Spanish speaking students) sit at one, the Asian and white girls sit at the middle table and the boys sit at the other table.

The school seems to be pretty strict about dress code and behavior - which is good, kids need to learn to follow rules somewhere!

It's a challenge to get up at 5:45 to get Evan going first and then Maia. Believe me I head back to bead with Eli until he gets up for the day!
