School Days

The kids are digging their new school here. Dave already mentioned that not everybody wears shoes to school here, which the kids say totally rocks. However, when it's 5 C and raining in the morning, I insist they do, poor guys. The other thing I found amusing on the first day, was that the principal said they would have to cancel the school Assembly that morning because of rain. What? Oh, they don't have a big indoor Assembly hall like Edith Bowen, but I guess the weather usually permits them to meet outside, so it's usually not a problem. The outside equipment is awesome. They're excited to get to school and we always have a hard time dragging them away after school.

Isaac is now in the middle of Year 2 (1st grade), and he has some catching up to do; I'm just glad he had Mrs. Anderson last year or he'd be hopelessly lost. Nikolas is in the middle of year 5 (4th grade) and is doing great. In fact, they signed him up to compete in a Math quiz in a couple of days and I'm sure he'll do well. Thank you to all the great teachers they've had at Edith Bowen.
