Maddie visits her new school!

Earlier today we took Maddie to visit her new school - St Mary's of the Angels in Bucktown.  It is a requirement for new students to do a "shadow day" but we really only spent about an hour there. It is a Catholic school in the Bucktown neighborhood. It's an actual school PreK through 8th grade!  We arrived just in time for snack time which was a good way to transition as Maddie was a bit scared when she walked in. Joseph and I were supposed to leave but the teacher said it was okay for us to stay, which was nice as we were able to observe the teacher as well. We're confident this will be a good transition for Maddie into a school setting!
