Back to School

Well, it's back to school here in Uruguay. We're still enjoying very warm weather, but I think most parents have had enough of a summer "break". Our kids seem OK with their new teachers and with some of the changes they are facing this year. Josiah's class, for example, was divided into two classes this year so he isn't with some of his friends from last year.

Kolette has been preparing materials to teach English to the kids at home. She has also had to sort out her schedules--having a newborn forces you to be creative.

School was cancelled yesterday & that was very unusual. School authorities were concerned about some severe thunderstorms with high winds. When many parents take their kids to school on a moped, I guess that is a very real concern. Our kids were content to have a day off after only two days in school!
