It is supposed to be bilingual, but mostly it's French with some English instruction. But that'll work too. M, T, Th and F he goes from 8:30 - 4:30 (except for the 2 hours between 11:30-1:30 which is lunch). Bag lunches are not allowed! Starting next week he will spend those 2 hours eating a 3-course lunch in the attached school canteen.
We're hoping he will learn things that we haven't taught him, like using a fork, or at least to use it for some foods such as mashed potatoes. There is no school on Wednesday. And Fridays in Jan and Feb involve skiing (only 20 minutes from here).
Lisa's American school...
schedule varies, starting at 9 (Th and F at 8) until 5 or 6 (M), except for a half day Wednesday (9-1). On M, T, Th and F, lunches are from 1-3 hours in a cafeteria. They're supposed to be 4-courses, but Lisa doesn't tell us much other than she hates it (on those occasions when she talks to us at all).
Today was our first snow. It was pretty, especially from our university office on the 7th (8th) floor
The snow made travel at ground level a bit slower, but still do-able. And, despite the snow, the outdoor market by David's school was open this Tuesday again.
I thought I'd shop there after lunch, but it was all packed and gone. :-(
We took Kevin to Rome as a freshman (the whole year). He said we were ruining his life, that he'd run away, and that his life sucked. We're like, yeah, could be true, but this is such a great adventure so take advantage of it. He held out until Thanksgiving, then softened after that, then liked it spring semester. Since you have a girl, she'll probably cycle through faster and hopefully love it after 6 months! Now Kevin tells everyone how wonderful it was.
ReplyDeleteThat would be reassuring if we weren't only staying for 6 months!
