School Shopping
My little Bubba isn't so little any more! He started Kindergarten this year! He is going to the new charter school, Promontory Elementary.
Since they have a very strict dress code, school shopping wasn't quite as exciting as it could have been. But we did have a good time (I was very honored that his mother invited me to go!).
Bubba's cousin, Corbin, is in his class. That makes it more fun! I am very impressed with the philosophy of this school. It is an Expeditionary Learning school. The school focuses on learning through learning expeditions, active pedagogy, culture and character, leadership and school improvement, and structures. This year the kindergarten will join with the first and second grades in completing three projects. The first project is a book on farm animals that will be published and put in the school library. Between the three grades they will do all facets of creating the book: they will learn about the animals, write the text, make the pictures, and publish the book. I am very impressed with the idea of expeditionary learning and I am excited that Bubba will get to be a part of it.
