First day of school

                       August 7th                                

Luke's first day in the Grund Schule  (1st grade) and 

Tessa's first day at Kindergarten without Luke (second year)

The school really celebrates the new 1st graders.  They invite all the new 1st graders and their parents to come a day after the rest of the school starts.  The 3rd graders put on a Welcome Program for them.  Then all of the 2-4th graders line up outside and wave streamers as the first graders walk from the gym to their new classrooms with their backpacks and schuletute.  It was very sweet.  I don't think Luke noticed because his schuletute was too heavy.  I didn't know what I was supposed to put in it. 

Luke's teacher is Frau Sehlinger
