First Day of School


At 8:20 this morning we set our for a walk to St. Sigismond, the primary school in our area where Hannah will begin school in "la grande section," the class for 5 year old students.

The school is colorful, clean, and looks like a lot of fun. Although Hannah will have some days ahead of her that will be a stretch for a little girl who has always done so well in communication, I don't doubt that she'll adjust and eventually thrive. Her teacher does speak some English and there will also be another student in her class who speaks English (her parents are students at CEF with us), so that is a comfort to us during this transition stage.

A couple of nice things about school here are that she will only go on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday and that she will come home from 11:30 to 1:30 on school days. So, hopefully that will aid in a smoother transition into being immersed in French.
