I know, I know... I haven't even had ONE post here since we moved to Sacramento.
I'm sorry. I've been busy. You know MOVING.
We've been here 3 weeks now and have been having a fabulous time so far. We've been to car races, the capital buildings, we've had swimming lessons. We've also had lots of contractors about. We've had dead trees removed, trees trimmed, irrigation system fixed, etc. We've played a TON in our huge backyard. I'll get around to a post about all that later... maybe.
But....today was Oscar's 1st day of 2nd grade and Calvin's 1st day of Kindergarten in our new neighborhood school Mariemont Elementary. So - quick side note - we LOVE our neighborhood. As we walked to school this morning there were people lining the street in front of the school sitting on lawn chairs waving and cheering along all the neighborhood kids on their first day of school. Yes really. How great is that huh? We feel like we've dropped into a dream neighborhood. It has been amazing.
Anyway - back to the school.
Mariemont... like the neighborhood it is in is amazing so far. This is the lunch "room". They do have an indoor cafeteria for "hot days". We laughed at that. Not for rainy days... but hot days.
So as I said. Calvin is in Kindergarten. It is 1/2 day here and he's in the morning session. There are 31 in his class which is a lot but there are so many volunteer moms she has to cut it off at 4 a day. So along w/ her co-teacher there are usually 6 adults in the room at a time.
They use smart-board that are linked to a wireless computer. Cool huh?
Oscar's class has 29 and the same situation w/ volunteer parents. The parents and PTA are heavily involved in this school. Which we love.
So that is it. 2 in school this year. Time has sure flown hasn't it!
