The Virtue of Patience

I need to work on this....patience. Not only with me but with my boys as well.

One thing I have been anxious about is the upcoming entrance into kindergarten. Curtis and I put in an intra-district transfer back in December. I thought we were going to know by the end of March whether or not our transfer was accepted. Well I just contacted the school district and because of the budget crisis, we now won't find out until the end of April! Something that I wasn't aware of (and thanks to my sister-in-law Kris) is that apparently the ratio of students to teachers is going to increase in the K-3rd grade. When talking with our school district, I found out it hasn't been decided yet whether or not our classroom size will be increased. Currently it is 1 teacher to 20 students. It could possibly increase to 1 teacher to 34 students. Can you imagine? How can a teacher have control of 34 students at one time, especially the young children in the K-3rd grade? The lady told me that they should find out by May as to whether or not the classroom size will be increased.

I will continue praying that my boys get the transfer that we really want and now pray for a small classroom size.

This week we are leaving for Chicago to visit Uncle Paul and Uncle Drew! We are beyond excited to go on our first airplane trip. It should be interesting :) I'm sure I will have a lot of stories and a lot of pictures when we get back.

P A T I E N C E......I will need a lot of it!
