Open House

Sydaleigh's school had their open house two nights ago. We got to tour the campus and talk with her 1st grade teacher and her various special teachers (her PE, Art, French and IT teachers).

There are over 30 different nationalities represented in this school and Sydaleigh has kids from all over the world in her class. She absolutely.loves.it.

She loves to be in a classroom. She has missed school so much these past five months while living in DC, and is thrilled to be back. My girl really likes school. She thrives in this setting so much.

She has French lessons every day and other "specials" each day as well. And I think that after only seven days of French lessons Sydaleigh already knows French better than me and Isaak. In the van last night on the way to a friends house she started singing, "If You're Happy and You Know It Clap Your Hands".... in French. The driver was looking back at her from the rear view mirror just smiling and laughing, so tickled that she was singing so enthusiastically in his language! It shouldn't be too long before I can use her to translate for me! Score!

Can't wait to see how far she comes this year!

(and yes, that would be Marvelly wearing tights. The fact that it is 90 degrees is not a good enough reason for her to not wear tights like a princess :~) )
