Austin is in 8th grade this year at Spectrum Academy. His teachers' name is Mrs. Ryan, however Austin calls her Mrs. "B" ~ I am not sure why this is (and I am really hoping there is a good reason and it doesn't stand for another word I can think of...) but she seems okay with it so I am not going to push the issue... yet.
Look at how much Austin has grown! He is around 5'4" and is starting to look all grown up! (YIKES, That is what I call a reality check!)Shailyn is in 5th grade and her teacher is Mrs. Laver. I am really hoping this year her teacher stays all year, she has had the worst luck with teachers the last few years!
The first week of school Shailyn is being tested to see which classes she will rotate into for her level. I love the way our elementary does this, they rotate into leveled classes for each subject! Shailyn is also looking more grown up, and is now 4'4" tall
Kaysie is in Mrs. Bell and Mrs. Bitners 3rd grade class. She will not be rotating classes this year, her teachers are leveling the students within the classroom. Her 2nd grade teacher also did this and Kaysie progressed so much academically last year, let's hope 3rd grade will be a similar success! 
Kaysie is taller than Shailyn, standing at 4'5" tall, officially 1" taller than her sister!
