Back to school

The girls are attending an international school, and so far so good. They use the same British curriculum their school in Taipei used, so that hasn't been an adjustment. The Chinese curriculum is quite rigorous (which is why we chose this school over some of the other international schools), but I am very impressed with the teachers, and the girls seem to be keeping up. Chinese and English homework combined is over an hour a day, so that will be a challenge, but so far, good attitudes have prevailed. There are lots of other kids in the neighborhood that go to the school, so they have lots of friends already. Sylvie hasn't been able to ride the school bus yet, which has meant drop off and pick up, but we are hopeful that she will be able soon, and life will feel a bit more manageable.

The school had a welcome BBQ and did face painting:
