Well no, not really. Today was Grace’s tour of the elementary school she will be attending in September.   We have to pay $30 for her school supplies today which is great.   That means I won’t be scrambling in September to pick up her supplies.   The classrooms are a little different….there are only 3 walls and no doors.  Everything is open.  I spoke to the teacher who will be off on maternity in the fall.  There was another teacher there, but I didn’t get a chance to speak with her.  I actually went to school with her older sister and I know her a little bit.  I’m hoping she will be Grace’s teacher in September.

I did register Grace for the other elementary school, but there were too many kids registering this year so they had to distribute the kids evenly between the 2 schools. You see, there are two early french immersion schools. One has french from grades 1-6, the other only has french for grades 1-3 which is the school Grace will be attending. Once she is in grade 4, she will have to switch over to the other elementary school to continue her french. Doesn’t make a whole lot of sense to me. I can’t understand why they don’t have french for grades 4, 5, and 6. I’m not sure if it’s funding or lack of french speaking teachers. Anyway, Grace was pretty excited about today. She has been wanting to go to school for the last 3 years! So today will give her a little taste of what she can expect in September.
