Kellogg Reaction

We went to Kellogg Elementary school. It was a very nice experience. I have never seen a school let alone an elementary school like that before. It was amazing, they had so much material that the children could absorb and learn from. There wasn't a bare wall in that school. It was decorated and programmed for learning. I wish I could of went to elementary school like that. They said the children were actually excited to go to school and were disappointed when they had to leave. Those students are going to be so smart and ahead of the game. They all are going to be well rounded students not just the extremely smart students everyone in the Kellogg environment will succeed. They had different learning station in the rooms, they were tables and some students would learn about math and others would do reading. They would spend about 15-20 mins on each subject and be asked questions the whole time and then they would switch. One other thing I think that is a good idea that Kellogg is doing is that they are not just providing extra help in reading but also extra help in math.

It is a wonderful school and should be how every school should be set up and ran. Hopefully in the near future more school will be following in Kellogg's footsteps. I am very lucky that I got to see Kellogg Elementary school and know what is possible with 21st century learning.
