It's Monday and we are back to school!

Tuesday was the big day - the first day of 2nd grade. Things went off without a hitch. The bus came on time, the boy got on the bus, and off he went. So far, it seems like he is off to a good start. September is a crazy month though. As soon as we start to get into some sort of routine, he has off for Rosh Hashanah this week and then Columbus Day next week.

               

The only major difference I see so far is in communication between teacher and parents. D's first grade teacher sent home information in droves. This teacher has been quiet so far. But we will get to meet her this week at Back to School night and find out exactly what D has been doing in class for 6 hours each day!

Reading-wise, I seem to be devouring books this week. Maybe part of it is the gloomy weather. Maybe part of it is my desire to ignore the dishes and just read. Either way, I read The Race for Paris, Ink and Bone, and The Art of Crash Landing this week. I really am trying to force myself to write a review or two before I pick up my next book!


This week, I'm planning to read The Last Policeman and Bellweather Rhapsody  as part of Readers in Peril. What are you reading for RIP?

    I'm glad everything is going smoothly in the back to school transition. How did you enjoy Ink and Bone?

      I liked it a lot. I'm really interested to see where the author takes things with the next book!

      I know! It's finally starting to feel like fall around here so it feels a bit more natural to send the kiddo off on the school bus.

    Glad it all went well! Back to school can be as nerve-wracking for the parents as it is for the kids! :)

      It certainly can be! I thought it would get easier, but there seem to be new (and the same) things to worry about each year!

    I bet the return to school going smoothly put you at ease.

    I'm currently doing the same thing, trying to write up reviews before moving on so I don't amass a bunch of thoughts and then get them all jumbled!

    I hope you enjoy your upcoming reads.

      It's a continual problem for me, I fear. It's so much easier to just pick up the next book than it is to sit down and write the review!
