1st day of Kindergarten!

Now it's official..we are parents of a Kindergarten child!!!

This morning school started for Olivia. On Monday evening we went to meet the teacher and took a look at the classroom, the library, the gym, music room and cafeteria. Chris and I felt a little lost in the chaos since it seemed all to be very unorganized!

There was no 'Welcome Speech' of the principal (Direktor der Schule) for the kids, nor 'Schultueten'. Everything just plain... :-(

The teacher Miss Pries however seemed to be very nice. The classroom looks similar to Olivia's preschool class, just filled with more kids. In her class I counted this morning a total of 16 children.

This is the school belonging to our neighborhood. If I don't like it, I can still be waitlisted for other schools in the surrounding neighborhoods.



The two Kindergartenrooms are behind this playstructure. This is their very own playground, safly surrounded by a fence.

At this gate to the right we meet the teacher in the morning to drop off our kid and as well get her back. Under the overhang the main entrance to the kindergarten rooms, one on the left, one on the right.

Olivia so grown up!

The bigger lady on the right is Miss Pries, collecting all the kids in the morning. Olivia stands behind her neighborhood friend and playdate Matthew. We were excited to see that they were assigned into the same class!
