Maddie and Grant on their way to the bus stop at 7:00am-a much later pick up time than last year (they used to be picked up at 6:45!)
Here they are with our neighbors Lilly and Maisy-they attend a different private school here in Singapore.
Grant was not happy that he had to wear a badge for the first few days around his neck-he thought he was too big for that. :)
Maddie and Grant started school last week-Maddie started 5th grade on Monday and Grant started 1rst grade on Wednesday!!
They were both so excited to start school this year. Grant did NOT like the fact that Maddie started a few days before him, but it was nice to get some more 1 on 1 with him for a few days while she was at school.
They love their teachers and had a great first week. Grant was surprised that 1rst grade is so different from kindergarten. He came home one day and told me that "1rst grade is a lot of work and not as much playtime!!".
Madeline loves the fact that she is switching classes for science and social studies, preparing for middle school next year (YIKES!). She also is playing the violin again this year in the 5th grade orchestra and we spent the day yesterday shopping and purchasing a new violin for her.
We are sooo looking forward to another amazing year at The Singapore American School!!

Sounds like the kids are all set for a new school year. Auntie Pat played violin for several years, and she will be happy to hear that Maddie is still playing! Thanks for the updates! Love to all...Grammy & PaPa
Cute pictures of the kiddies at school. Hope all is going well there.
Have you figured out the Singapore word for Dr. Pepper?
Love to you all.
