7/9/09 First Day of 1st/2nd Grade

Since we moved into a year round school system, the kids had a short summer break before beginning 1st and 2nd grade. We love the year round schedule...9 weeks on/3 weeks off. Gave us a chance to visit Iowa in September and go skiing during the entire month of December. Unfortunately we are going back to a modified traditional schedule next year similar to what we were used to in Iowa only two weeks shorter in the summer with a two week fall break and two week spring break. We really liked the year round system but shouldn't have any problem adjusting back.
