First Day of School update

Well, the first day of school was a success! They were full of smiles when I picked them up! Here are a few things they noted about school:

They were both amazed at the number of breaks they have.  They have a 30 minute recess plus an hour lunch and recess.  This was after having a morning assembly.  Tony and I left that assembly too early, by the way.  Ellis's teacher gave him a "Welcome Award". He was excited he got to go to the front of the entire school to collect his award.  Hannah Grace, on the other hand, was thrilled her name was not called out!

The language taught at school is Italian.  Hannah Grace had her 30 minute lesson yesterday.  She said the teacher only spoke in Italian. She said she just sat there and thought, "HUH?" At least she laughed when telling me this and didn't cry!

They both hope they do not leave their lunch at home.  They do not serve school lunch.

The school has a no hat, no recess policy. They also have sunscreen for the children, if they did not wear it to school. They have to wear a hat even though the playground is covered with huge shades. I love it, though!

All smiles after the first day of school!
