We started our first day of school for the 2021-2022 school year this week. It was a day to celebrate because our entire family is now on one campus together as Kaelia joins her sister in the middle school - the same building where Justin and work in the high school.
Both girls had a great time seeing their friends that they missed over the summer, finding out who is in each of their classes, and getting their new schedules. Taelyn was very excited to have all of her core classes with one of her best friends, Ikki, and Kaelia was happy to see that her core classes are with some of her buddies from her 5th-grade class as well as a new faculty kid (and our new neighbor), Peppy.
When asked about the difference between elementary school and middle school, Kaelia said she loved all the freedom in middle school and how she gets to go to different classes.
One other highlight was our school's dynasty day on Friday. The entire secondary school (6-12) was placed into different Chinese dynasties, set up like a house system (think Harry Potter). The girls and I were all placed in the Tang dynasty, and Justin is in Yuan. We will see how the year goes and who will win each dynasty challenge.
We are all looking forward to a great year!
