School Orientation

To help all the new kids coming into the school, the class one year ahead puts on a show.  

Naomi's class did this for Eyan's class.  They sang songs, did skits and danced. What a great way to welcome in the new kids. 

At the very end of the show your class number is called you walk through the pretzel tunnel and take a tour of the school with your new teachers and classmates.  The whole first week is getting to know the school, classes, and teachers.

Eyan

This year Eyan moved up to the big school.  It was a difficult transition going; from super star status to not knowing any teachers or the way around a new building, taking the bus, new lunch system and finding the elective classes.  He is now changing classes every hour and is one in about 900 kids. 
Overwhelming after going to school a block away and knowing everyone by name.

Saturday Cartoons

We haven't had any TV for the last year.  I was feeling generous the other day and tried figuring out the Satellite connection.  It wasn't very hard, but I can only find the British channels.  Looks like we'll be speaking British English and German. 

But, what makes me most happy about all of this is that the 3 little boys are watching Saturday morning cartoons under quilts that I have made!   I love that.
