Back to School

Another year at Pacific Horizons School has begun. Emma is in the 6th grade! Wow, I can remember being in 6th grade and thinking how mature and wise I was, especially compared to those unrefined 5th graders.

After some unhappy times, things are looking up for Emma at school. She has a new teacher, Mrs. Peck, who has a background in fisheries biology and art. She is experienced and very energetic, two qualities that had been lacking in Emma's former teacher.

Emma came home from the first day of school and told me that her day was "excellent" and she has been full of smiles every afternoon since. I am hopeful that we will get through the year with less tears, but I am sure there will always be days when Emma has girl drama to report. I'm just hoping for less of it this year.
