Since US children only have 1 week break for Christmas (this is going to take a bit of getting used to!), the girls have been able to join their respective classes for 2 half days this week to start settling in (it has also done them a world of good to have a well deserved break from space rocket making.......... see earlier posts). In second grade there are lots of friendly children who like our accents, and in Kindergarten it was really fun making a gingerbread house. In both classes we were able to join their Christmas parties and their seasonal sing-a-long. The first of many differences are that "playtime" is now "recess" and there is a loud speaker broadcast which announces home time and which buses are leaving when! The buses will be a new adventure for the New Year.
