There are a lot of choices to make when it comes our childrens' education. Public school, private school, charter school, home school. We started in public school with our oldest two, but it didn't work out for us. I home schooled and tried private schooled after that - didn't fit either. Then a series of events led us to a different public school in the little town of La Farge. That is where everything fit for us. I am thankful that open-enrollment is an option here. We make the trip in to school each morning, and meet a bus at the edge of the district in the afternoon. Yeah, it's a hassle - but it is worth it.
Can everyone say they LOVE their kids' school? I really, really do.
At our small school they call Pre-K through 1st grade "The Promise Center". They do lots of things together. Yesterday I got to be Gavin's mom and help make Christmas ornaments for trees in the community.
In her room they made these cute sheep ornaments.
This handsome kindergartner latched onto me right away. What a sweetie!
Why did I miss the most important 'finished product' shot?! Lets just say it was a busy room :)
Next we went to the Pre-K room for a snack and some hot chocolate.
This is the other important Promise Center teacher in our lives this year. She is Gracie's teacher, Ms. Kundert. We got to know each other this summer while we were running partners. I'm sorry this isn't a better picture. So many kids... so much hot chocolate to spill ;)
Then we went to the kindergarten room and made these cute ornaments. I have no pictures of the fabulous Mrs. Horton. She had three choices for us - I think Gavin was sold on the glitter element of this one. Who doesn't love glitter?
Time to clean up!!
This is the first of many days to come of volunteering in the Promise Center. If you haven't been in your kid's classroom lately, please go soon! It is so fun to meet all of their classmates, and their teachers will appreciate your help.
