Miss Hirt
The public schools open for classes next Wednesday. Berkeley will be in the first grade this year and for the first time will attend school for the entire day. The school district sends out elementary school teacher assignment notifications via postcard. The cards were posted yesterday and arrived today in the mail. Berkeley will be attending the class taught my Miss Hirt. We immediately started calling all of Berkeley's former kindergarten friends (Jake, Sam, Mitchell, etc), neighbors (Greysen), and church classmates (Fox). None - not a single one of his friends, neighbors, or church pals - will be in his class this year. There are 4 first grade teachers, so you'd think at least one would be in there. Nope.

Berkeley was disappointed, but he is still really excited for school to start. He can't wait to ride the bus and trade Pokemon cards again and sit next to his bus route buddies (Jake, Sam, Mitchell, etc). There will be four new kids at the neighborhood bus stop this year... Scott, Isabella, Greysen (switching from private to public school), and, uh, that one little girl that lives on the inside corner... not sure what her name is. Anyway, just a few more lazy days of summer and then it's back to the school routine.
