First day of school

The kids had their first day of school yesterday and all went well! I picked them up from school and when asked how his first day of school went, Aquiles responded with, "Awesome". He really enjoys school and stated that his teacher is very nice. Amazingly, Alicia also had a great day. She is very shy and we thought Kinder would terrify her. She was excited about going and even packed her lunch Saturday afternoon (she took a different lunch). She likes her teacher and said she understood what the teacher wanted because she used gestures. She learned some new words, mochila (backpack) and cientate (sit down); she is very proud. Aquiles' kindergarten teacher is Alicia's English teacher and that made Alicia very happpy because she likes Mrs. Bernal. Alicia's teacher is Mrs. Gutierrez and she is very nice and professional. I think we are going to have a great year!
