Helpers

As soon as the girls were out for summer vacation, they decided to go back to school!  They went to their old school (where Mackenzie attended all through elementary, K-4, and Peyton went K-2 until we moved to a different zone) and helped our friend Amy with her 1st grade class (there are two schools in our district that are on a "non-traditional" or "year-round" calendar).  Amy teaches in the class that both my girls had when they were in 1st grade!  It's crazy they were both in the same room - Mackenzie with Mrs. Cooper and Peyton with Mrs. Burrow since there are 5 or so 1st grade classrooms.

Here are the girls with the class.  

We ran into Lydia - also there helping -  while we were there.  Mackenzie and Lydia went to school there together.  

Below are pictures of Peyton with two of the teachers she had while she was there - Mrs. Burrow (her 1st grade teacher) and Ms. Lange (her 2nd grade teacher).  Her Kindergarten teacher, Mrs. Gauthier moved to a different school a few years ago.  Two of Mackenzie's teachers are still teaching there - her 2nd grade teacher, Mrs. Chambliss and her 4th grade teacher, Mrs. Robertson but they were out that afternoon, so no photo.  Mackenzie's Kindergarten teacher, Mrs. Malloy retired, her 1st grade teacher, Mrs. Cooper went to a different school, and her third grade teacher, Mrs. Bingham moved to the school where Peyton just finished.  Mackenzie job shadowed with Mrs. Bingham a couple of months ago.  

Here are the girls with Amy (Mrs. Ford).  They had such a great time!  I think they want to go back and help again when Elm Tree starts back up (a couple of weeks before they start back).
