I don't have a lot of photo's today. I was actually scared taking the 2 I have of the school. With the way things are over here I am so scared they lock me up or something, because some people might find it weird that I'm taking photo's of a school.
But the school and staff seem really nice. The whole school is under one roof and we saw the cafeteria and they have a really nice library. We also met Zander's teacher and she seems great. When he walked into the classroom all the kids jumped up and tried to swarm him, the teacher had to call them off, she was afraid they would over well him.
He said he had loads of fun today and even won an Art Reward and already made friends. It looks like he had a lot of fun. Tomorrow morning we are walking to school, it's only about a 15 minute walk, we live to close to school to qualify for the bus so we will walk to and from school everyday. Zander doesn't seem to mind, he can't wait to do the trip on his own. I'm still not comfortable with that but we'll get there someday.
They are so organized, the kids get a ticket everyday that describes how they go home - like care rider, walker, etc . and they can't leave the school without handing in their tickets, so if you are looking for your child you just tell them his mode of transportation and they go through the tickets so see if the child left and if he left the way he was supposed to and then retrace the child's step from there. And then if it looks like the weather is bad they call the parents and don't allow the walkers to walk home, they have to be picked up on those days by car. I'm sure a lot of these rules are to cover themselves and it makes me fell better to know that he is in good hands and they will do everything in their power to keep him safe.
I really feel good about the school and I think the adjustment will be easy enough. Kiaan is just put out that he can't go to school as well, although when he found out he'll be able to watch TV while Zander is in school he felt better about it, and of course the fact that he'll get to go to kindergarten at the same school next school year.
There is still a lot of things we have to learn and get used to, like kids younger than Zander taking their bikes to school without adult supervision, don't know how long it will take me to allow that, much to Zander's disappointment.
Tomorrow is Henry's first official work day even though he has been in a few times to help out, so I hope it goes great and that he has a lot of fun. I met a few of his co - workers and they are all very friendly and helpful.
I'll try to get some more photo's tomorrow, if its safe. Sorry for any mistakes, spelling and if some of the stuff doesn't make sense but I'm really tired tonight and don't feel like proof reading, I'm heading to bed. Hope you all have a good night and sleep well.
Kiaan with Zander on his first day of school. Doesn't it look funny to not have him in uniform? |
They both dressed themselves this morning, they decided they are old enough to choose their own clothes. As long as it doesn't look to bad I'm good with that. |
