First Day of School in Bolivia

The kids are going to school this week at Calvert Cooperative School, here in Bolivia, with dad. Most schools in Bolivia do not take a summer break, but because Calvert is an American school they are just now going back to school. Everyone is required to speak English on campus so the kids are getting along ok, except in Spanish class.
The opening assembly. They played the Bolivian national athem and the Star Spangled Banner. Dad gave an awesome speech. So proud of him.
Jordan is 6th grade class. Mrs. Kilmarten is wonderful. Jordan is already sad about leaving her class.
Wyatt in the computer lab. He spent the period showing the teacher educational websites to go to.

Dad and the kids on the first day of school.

  1. Love the colors in Jordan's outfit. (they all match - as if you didn't already know that). How wonderful that they get to go to school too! I guess they could stay the year and experience American school in Bolivia, kind of like an exchange student - except with GiGi and Dat! I might even consider letting my kids do that (with their g-parents there). It is raining here (whoo hoo!) and we are going to sonic for lunch! Love the onion rings! Love ya! Keri (I really want the lemon crepes though!)
