First Day Of School

Today was the first day of school for all Serbian children, including Kyleigh and Michaela.  Miki's first day was pretty easy, her favorite teacher Goca was there this morning so the day started off right.  Her report when she got home "school was fun, we had a tasty potato lunch".  I tried to delve deeper into the day of a four year old but that's all I got.  Kyleigh was a little nervous but we reminded her this is not like American School - she has the same teachers, and same kids, same classroom.  That really reduces the stress level.  This week she had afternoon school so her 1st day started at 2:00,  and since the 1st day should not be to tough she finished at 3:30!  Now school for her is a little different then in America.  You buy your books here so today they got  all 10 and I drug them home.  She will take the ones she needs on a daily basis.  You also don't leave your supplies at school, so she has to carry that stuff home every day also.  She said all they did today was get books, and the kids talked about their summers  She was happy to see her friends and for us it's nice to get some sort of routine going.  All in all a good day for everyone.
