All three girls were in school today. The conversation at the end of the day is definitely different. It's about who they've met and where they're from.
Sofia's day: she moved all the way to Stockholm to meet a girl in her class from Atlanta. The thing that is the most different about this school is the fancy lunchroom! They have flowers on the tables and each seat is set with a fork and knife. It really threw her teacher that Sofia brought a lunch from home. I explained to her teacher this morning that Sofia is used to bringing her lunch and that she'll do that until she's comfortable getting something from the cafeteria. The teacher also thought that Sofia didn't have enough to eat. Has she never encountered a picky eater?!
Sofia had her first Swedish class where they read stories in Swedish. She also had art yesterday all the way on the top (7th) floor.
Sofia is also very excited to join the Junior Choir at school with Audra on Thursday afternoons. We'll get information about the rest of the after school clubs next week on Back to School night.
Audra's day: Audra has met Santana (from New Jersey) and Gigi (who rides horses too) and another girl from the other 4th grade class. She loves having 30 minutes in the morning and afternoon to play outside!
Gabby's day: Gabby has made friends with Annabelle (from Germany) and Coco (from Australia). She's met a lot of other nice people but can't remember their names. She had PE yesterday (once a week for 3 hours). The class went to one of the University complexes (30 minutes away), ran, then showered (no curtains in the locker room) and returned to school. Gabby has learned to place her clothes further away from the shower as they were a little damp yesterday!
