Tennessee Family

Jonathan's big comment after his first day back was, "The school's been overrun with Munchkins." Apparently, he's a great deal taller than pretty much all of the seventh graders. (I bet many of them outweigh him, though!)

In an interesting reversal of their usual styles, Matthew had plenty to say about his first day back. He's taking Computer Science with pretty much all of his friends, Mr. Thornhill was delighted to have him back in Architectural Design and Engineering II, two of his best friends are in Algebra II, another of his friends has Chemistry the period before him, and this year's Honors English teacher is way cooler than last year's (he still does not expect English to be his favorite class).

Alta Loma High School has three tracks: Honors, College Prep, and General. I wondered how much difference there was between especially the first two tracks, but Matthew says quite a bit. He had to drop down to College Prep World History in order to fit Drafting II into his schedule, and he says the class is noticably different from his honors classes. : (
