Pred Skolska Graduation

This is a picture of my Pred Skolska graduate.  For all you Native English speakers out there, that is like kindergarten in the States.  After 9 months in a class with 36 other kids and two teachers (one of which none of the kids liked) Miki graduated and is ready for first grade.  On the last day of school her class put on an outstanding performance to cap off a week of amazing performances (earlier in the week 37 six year olds showed off their amazing English skills, and later there was a rhythmic gymnastics performance.)  They sang songs, danced - lots of dancing - and told all the parents and grand parents all the things they learned.  We were really proud of Miki, she has blossomed this year, making some good friends and really becoming a good Serbian speaker.  We were impressed with the job the teachers did.  Keeping 37 kids from killing each other is quite the feat, but the kids actually learned something too!  Next year Miki will be heading next door to her new school and a new adventure in Serbian priamary school, but for now we will remeber the good old days of pred skolska.

Miki talks about the letter "C", which makes an s sound in Cyrillic
