Our Kristin started high school on Thursday! She suffers the curse of the younger sibling--she has teachers who remember Billy and Heidi! Another friend of hers has the same "problem". Also, it seems all the seniors remember Billy as "the kid who did karate during lunch time". I guess it's not a bad rep to have.
When the older kids went to the high school, the schedule was in the regular 8-classes-a-day format. Kristin has block scheduling. All her core classes--English, Math, Science and Social Studies are in 2 period blocks and alternate during the week. On A days, she has two of the classes and on B days she has the other two. She doesn't like it--the class time drags too much. I'm not sure what I think of it. She has health, Band (still jazzing it up on the sax!), German, and lunch every day which makes for a nice routine.
Kristin likes school so far--she is in core classes with almost all her friends and each period she has several friends. Billy and Heidi always seemed to be scheduled away from their friends so this is going to be a good year for Kristin!
She is a really cool kid and we are very proud of her.
