Our kids first MONTH at their new school!

YIPPY it has went FANTASTIC!

Let me give you some info about the ALBION elementary.

Total children attending was 25 then our 3 made it to 28. That's some growth in one week.

Total classrooms 3. Yes I said 3. They have the kids divided into grade levels.

Kindergarten is in there own class. 1st and 2nd grade are in the same class and 3,4,5are in the same class. I was really worried about this, wondering how in the world one teacher can teach 2 or 3 grades at once. But when the classroom size is so small it doesn't seem to be so difficult. So far I have been impressed with the homework and they seem to be getting more one on one time. All the kids are so close, they all play with each other.


At recess when the weather is to cold and snowy they stay inside and play indoor bowling, the wii, and bing bong. They also have a free rein through the halls and classrooms. They all seem to have a blast.

Each day our kids walk in the door and say SCHOOL was AWESOME! It makes me so happy to hear them say that. As a mother I have been so worried about them adjusting to a small school. They are learing to play with children of all ages and genders.

That would give me piece of mind to know they weren't at school with a TON of total strangers. I pray everyday that all the creeps out there will stay away from my kids!

That just blows my mind! Andrew says that we're moving so that our kids can go there, too. I wouldn't even consider living somewhere that cold, though. Yikes!

I want to play Wii for recess!
