School

We have decided to put Elyse in school beginning in August. She will be going 3 days a weeks for about 3 1/2 hours each day. We thought it would be good for her to get out of the house and interact with other kids.

The school is right across the street so it's easy to get to. This also means that it is a "local" school and all but 2 kids are Singaporean. While at school she will be having time to play outside, have free play (learn through play) inside, story time, craft time, and she will also be learning some Chinese. The school will give her lunch each day as well.

Today we went for orientation and while I was talking to the principal, Elyse got to hang out with her classmates. She seemed to enjoy her time and she loves her uniform. She is growing up!

How much longer will you all be staying? (We've been behind on our blog-following, so if you've already posted that, sorry!)
