Moffitt brothers begin fall semester

(ANYWHERE, USA) - By Jonathan Moffitt. Brandon and Steven started the 2008-2009 school year recently, in the 4th grade and kindergarten, respectively. Brandon,began classes on August 18. Steven, did not start until August 25 due to student assessment tests the week before.
Teaching Brandon will be Ms. Smith*, a recent graduate of Brigham Young University. In kindergarten, Steven will learn from Ms. Wilson.
"My favorite part of school is learning to read," said Steven.
In the 4th grade, Brandon enjoys math. "But spelling is a close second and homework is dead last," Brandon said.
After a struggling with his teacher during 3rd grade, Brandon is optimistic for this year's campaign.
"My teacher seems much more organized than last year," Brandon said. "She's also nicer. The school year has kicked off quite nicely. I can almost guarantee straight A's."
A few doors down, Steven is embracing his new daily activity.
"I'll miss my mom from time to time, but I can't wait to learn. I have to take advantage of kindergarten because I know 1st grade is just around the corner."
At home, Jamie Moffitt is adjusting to life with only half of the children with her during the day.
"It's wierd," Jamie said. "I had to fight back tears when I dropped Steven off at his class. At the same time, though, I'm glad to spend some quality time with my girls."
Kylie and Kaylin Moffitt could not be reached for comment.
