Today was the kids’ first day at their new french school. We were all a bit nervous but as it turned out we had no need to be. Madame Annabel (Le Professeur) spoke good English (thank god!). We introduced ourselves. She was very nice. She was expecting us. She spoke to the kids in French. They haven’t had any children at the school who haven’t been able to speak French before. Madame Annabel said they do about 1.5 hours a week of English instruction. It’s interesting that they start learning another language so young, grade 1 and 2.
There's no school uniform. The school provides all books and pencils. We had to buy a couple of art smocks, plastic cups, box of tissues and a cloth to wipe the wyteboard. The kids came home with homework in French so it’s out with the dictionary to translate. But sometimes it still doesn’t make sense.
