First day of school

Monday a sweet mom, Jodi, who speaks Russian, came and took us on a tour of the elementary school and helped the kids meet their teachers. We also showed them where all the bathrooms were, the computer room, the lunch room and playground. Everyone was so nice and helpful and excited to finally meet the kids. So yesterday we went a little early and found their class rooms again and got them settled. I checked my phone 50 times through out the day, but no calls, emails or texts. So I assumed they were fine and met them at the flag pole at the end of the day. They came out looking for me and I even got a couple quick, short hugs. The kids seemed to do well, their teachers came out with them, and said they did great. They also told me that there were always kids with them at recess and lunch. So I think it was a good experience for them.

Today we are going to try to ride the bus...

It sounds like things are going well. Are the kids able to understand much of what is going on in the classroom? They look so adorable. I'm so happy for all of you!

I am glad their first couple of days have been good. I love the first day of school just for photos! How did the bus ride go. I think that is both my kids favorites, besides art and gym. Oh and friends.
