We just finished the first week of school. Ian finally got his dream, going to Big Sister's school. There is only one girl from his class last year, so he will be making new friends this year. A quick note about the school system in Luxembourg. As you might know, Ian attended preschool. It was not mandatory, but we thought it will be good for him to start learning the language. Also, it was free!!! I know it is hard concept to understand especially with all of the things Ian did last year. Well, this year is the official start of the education system.
Carolyn has started 3rd grade. She is right on the parallel track with the American system of grades. As a teacher, I always seems to compare what she is learning here and what she would be learning in the States.
Overall, they both like their teachers and enjoy going to school. Getting up in the morning is another story.... however we will improve in the next few weeks.
Here is their picture as they head out to school on the first day.
