First day

Last Monday was the first day for E and C. Iris is sporting her PJs bc Friday was her first day. Notice it's pitch black and notice the kids are cold...wearing sweaters... in August.
I: Segundo de pre-escolar
C: Primero de Primaria
E: Tercero de Primaria

And embroidering their names in everything (they wear uniforms 2 days a week plus have lab coats and a special bag and smock)? Hello sharpie! And the main complaint is that E and C spend half of their day learning English. Hello Americans! In the US, their school was half Spanish, but they learned science and math in Spanish. Here, English is just English. And all other subjects are crammed into the other half of the day. The good news is at least my kids will learn English. Last one, I promise, until tomorrow: it's early! This kids don't enjoy waking up at 6 to be ready for the bus at 6:57.
    There is a list of pros too: their friends speak Spanish. Let me get back to you with the rest of the list. There's more, it's just been a crazy week.
