Kennedy had back to school orientation last week. Angela, Shane, and I went to get the scoop on her new year and meet her new teacher, Mrs. Sperline. She is in the “Safe Classroom” with all of the other 5th graders that have serious allergies. The teacher is held personally liable for the safety of these kids so no snacks or treats for celebrations are allowed because there is a huge variety of allergies she has to worry about. Instead of treats to celebrate your birthday she gives a late homework pass to the kids during their birthday month. Since Kennedy is a summer birthday she got hers already. We are in week two and she needed to use it this week! Haha :)
The classroom was decorated with these backpacks that each kid made. Here is Kennedy’s backpack and first week of school picture:
It touched my heart that she drew me as part of her family portrait. It may not be the normal traditional family but it is ours. And I feel very lucky that both of her parents and I can be there all at once to show our support and love for her.
