Back to School

Last week was the first week of school at my old school in Birmingham. That means my sweet 4th graders are now the 5th grade leaders of our school, and I am sure they are doing a great job at it. :) The beginning of school makes me think of various childhood memories--buying new school supplies, back-to school clothes shopping, and the excitement of finding out who my teacher was and which friends were in my class each year. Even as teacher, I loved the excitement of finding out which students were in my class each year. Another aspect I love about the start of a new school year is that it is a new beginning. We all need fresh starts sometimes, and the beginning of the school year is exactly that.

While it's not quite time for the kids in Mexico to go back to school, I thought I'd post a few pictures so you could see what schools are like here...
