She goes every day from 8:30 - 11:50 (because I pick her up before lunch). She has a new friend she talks about everyday. There are 12 kids in her class - 6 boys and 6 girls.
Interesting facts about school:
- They use a British curriculum.
- Most teachers are British
- The kids take off their shoes when they enter the room and put on slippers
- All kids dress out for gym class (yes that means all 12 three to four year olds!)
- The kids have swimming lessons at an indoor pool about 10 minutes away every other Monday
- The kids have French lessons everyday for 15 - 30 minutes
- We just got off "holiday" (vacation) - they get one week at the end of February and then two weeks around Easter.
- The last day of school is the 24th of June.
- They had the kids set goals this quarter - to be able to put their clothes and shoes on by themselves!
- They have fresh fruit for snack every morning.
- Next year she will go from 8:30 - 3:30 every day!
Nik - It is fascinating to read everything - from the way school is structured to your grocery store/mall experience. Thanks for keeping up the blogging even when you are struggling to find the time to do so. I love seeing you and your life there! Love, Allison
