I just have to show you their new backpacks.
They are very proud of them, picked them out themselves and had them as a gift from all the grandparents.
In this area all the 1st graders get an orange backpack from the county. This is a project to uniform all the firstgraders, and more important, to make them more visible to the drivers.
But somehow it turned out wearing this orange backpack in 2nd grade is emberassing, and nobody wants to do it.
Usually second graders get a brand new backpack for their second school year. But of course not our kids. They didn't attend second grade here in Norway, so they therefore "had to" have a new backpack for starting third grade.
That's the story, and here they are:
Flotte sekker! Og så fantastisk at de har orange jakker - da vises de jo i trafikken likevel, selv om de ikke bærer orange sekker lengre! Hvordan har overgangen til norsk skole vært?
ReplyDeleteSå stilige de er!! Utrolig godt tiltak med synlige sekker til 1.klassingene. Håper gutta trives med å være tilbake på skole her i Norge. Må jo bli klassens midtpunkt med alt det de har fått oppleve "over there" :-)
ReplyDeleteDe er happy med tilværelsen i klassen på skolen, selv om kommentaren som "Mommy, this is like starting second grade over!"
ReplyDeleteMen vi utfordrer dem på hjemmebane i matte og engelsk.
De har nok fått en god del oppmerksomhet på skolen, ja.
