First week of school






We survived the first week of school at Southbank!  On the second day we found the hidden scooter parking which is wonderful. Now I don't have to lug three scooters back and forth on the stroller.  Add in the backpacks and I am sure I am a sight!

Everyone seems to really enjoy school.  They love wearing their PE kit, as it says Southbank.  I might invest in a few more shirts!  

All three have about 15 kids in their classes.  Most speak English, but some students benefit from the translator programs the teachers have on their Macs.

Will has school all day just like Kate and Jack.  He is tired when he gets home, but always is eager to go, and looks happy when I pick him up.

Music lessons start the end of next week, so that will add another layer to our busy morning routine.  We are still learning how to get everything done in the mornings... breakfast, lunch, walking to school, and of course understanding school itself.  We have curriculum night next week, so that will be good to hear more about what they do all day.

First Day 4th Grade!

Orinda Country Cotillion

The Orinda Country  Cotillion  is a forty year community tradition sponsoring a series of seven evening dance classes and welcomes all seventh graders in Orinda.  The boys are girls are both broken into two sections, so every other dance is with the opposite boy group. Two of the dances are themed (a sock hop and country -western) and the rest are semi-formal.  Last night was the first dance in the seven dance series.  Kate and her friend Zoe had a great time.  They learned the fox trot and a line dance.  Seemed like fun!
