Emma's Preschool Opening Ceremony

Emma will be starting at Sora Japanese Preschool this week. She is in the "hiyoko" (chick) class.

Her official school days are Tuesdays and Thursdays from 9-1130am, but she was asked to attend the Japanese Club the other mornings of the week because at her interview the interviewers determined that she was already more proficient in English. Yes - she was "interviewed" at 18 months old. The interview consisted of flash cards, pegs and shape sorters. Pretty intense.

The school is very Japanese which makes me nervousness, but I think she will learn a lot. The hope is that as she starts to speak in Japanese, Tyler will also be encouraged to learn.

Today she had her opening ceremony. It was short, she cried, but then seemed ok by the time we were leaving. The kids came into the room, received their little books for stickers, found their cubbies, sang a song, and read a book. It was cute.

Christian and I think she will cry for about a week, but maybe she will surprise us. We'll see.

Here she is walking in. There are 5 kids in the class (2 boys and 3 girls). One of the kids wasn't there today.
