Worries

I am starting to worry about the size of Connor's kindergarten class and him getting lost in the shuffle. They got a new student yesterday and if I am not mistaken that makes 21 kids in all day kindergarten. He is blessed to have a wonderful teacher, whom I have know for a few years. I volunteer in the class one day a week and it can be hectic to say the least one person can only do so much. There was four day a week that parents came in to help during reading groups, but now there are only two of us helping two days a week. I can't imagine what it is like without parents to help, maybe I will go in one more day a week to help when Chance is in school. I really wish they would quit taking transfer students into the school that would help class size , but they would loose money so I know that won't happened. I know the school is facing budget cuts so I hope we don't loose any teachers.

I love that he goes to the same elementary school that his father went to, it is in a small town, and we know a lot of the staff it is so nice. I just hoped the class size would be smaller. I am really getting concerned about Connor's education. Now I am starting to think about transfer if it gets any worse. There is a small town outside of Lincoln that has small class sizes the drive would kill me but I think I am going to have to do what is necessary. I may be prejudice because he is my child but he is a very bright child. I am his mother so of course I think he is brilliant, but I have had several other comment on how smart he is, and they weren't just being nice they were serious. Sometimes I feel that he is a wise old soul trapped in a five year olds body. I just want him to be challenged enough to keep him from being bored and maybe by the time Chance starts school I will have this figured out for him, but man this is hard. I am having to be so involved and think about things I didn't think I would have to worry about for a few years.
