Colin and Alex, ever the intrepid adventurers, shrugged off their teary-eyed parents and boldly started grades 1 and 4 all by themsleves today in very sunny Melbourne. Colin is in Ann's class a 3/4 split and Alex is in Erin's class a 1/2 split. It would seem we don't use the teacher's last name which is kind of...nice.
After stumbling around Melbourne for the day worried sick, and enjoying the odd glorious cappucino, mom and dad rushed back to school at 3:30 to discover Colin had about 5 new friends and was in a fierce game of wickets in the playground and Alex had learned about fractions, writing, and Erin said he was an excellent reader - in fact, he was reading at the orange level.
Well, mom and dad were relieved, impressed, and perhaps a little bit proud that the first day for the Darling boys at Carlton North Primary School had been such a smashing success. May this be the beginning of a beautiful relationship!
