Owen - homework and leaving

We picked up Owen’s homework this afternoon, and he got it done in about 2 hours. He actually felt like he was getting a fever near the end, but he did everything with a smile on his face.
Shortly after, his dad came to pick him up. Even after so many years of doing this, it […]

Bikes, FLL & scouts, and art

Owen rode his bike to school for the first time today! He did a great job, and was really proud when he was parking it at the school’s bike rack.
After I dropped him off I ran from job to job, finishing just in time to pick him up at the end of the day. We […]

New teacher

We went to meet Owen’s new teacher for fourth grade today. She seems really nice, and has two sons of her own, one of which is going into fourth grade himself. Owen got to pick out his desk, we got his supplies put away, and had a nice talk with his teacher. When we left […]

Spelling Bee

Owen did great in his 3rd Grade Spelling Bee today, finishing I think 6th (maybe 7th…I’ll have to recheck the video) out of 20. The only ‘bad’ part was he was in the front row with 4 other contestants, which freaked him out. Owen’s classmates were in the front row of the auditorium, so basically […]

Tech Trek

Owen’s school did a fundraiser today called “Tech Trek”, where they were raising money to purchase new digital A/V equipment. The kids had to walk around the huge block their school is on twice — the block houses the elementary school, middle school, high school, school’s administration building and the village library. Apparently that equals […]

Admin lady: Owen’s had a real tough day today. He’s here with me now, and he’d like to talk to you.
Me: What? What’s wrong?
Admin lady: Well, in gym class he punched a girl. Then at recess, he […]

Good night, good day

Last night when Owen got home I helped him on a project he has to bring tomorrow morning to school. It’s called “My Story”, and it’s a large poster-sized page where Owen has to write reviews, articles, answer questions and post photos of himself. Each week one of the kids in his class will do […]

Roller skating

Owen’s second-grade class went on a field trip to Ozaukee Skateland today. For days Owen’s been saying how much he was not looking forward to the trip. Today, he was practically ill on the way to school due to his fear of it. According to him, he can’t skate at all, and pretty much everyone […]

Riveredge Nature Center

My name today was “Mrs. Owen”, as decided by some of the kids I chaperoned for the second-grade field trip to Riveredge Nature Center in Newburg. My group started out as 6 but grew to 9 as we were told our class needed to split in two for the tour. So my group was really […]
