First Week of School

We went out to the Beach School again last week once the kids started the school year. This was my first time to see all the kids in class. They were very thankful for all we had done to clean up the classroom and getting the walls painted. It was so nice to start the school year with clean classrooms and organized libraries and computer room.
It was first time to practice with our new camera. We got a Nikon D5200 especially for our safari trip coming up, so I wanted to try it out. So sorry for the overload of pictures!

We started with the youngest classrooms and made our way up the grades
