Tonight we went to Ethan's brand new elementary school to meet his teacher.

We saw Daniel there too. Ethan was excited to see someone he knew. We actually ran into a few of Ethan's friends so he is really looking forward to school now.

This is Ethan's teacher, Mrs. Armendariz. Ethan is enrolled in the dual language program at school. This means they will speak the "language of the day" every other day. English will be one day and Spanish the next. I am nervous and excited to see Ethan try to learn a new language. I just hope he will keep up in his subjects. Reading, and math will be done in English, while Science, Health, and Social Studies will be in Spanish. What a neat opportunity for Ethan. His teacher is very warm and loving. I know she will be a great teacher.

By the end of our visit, Ethan felt comfortable and ready to start school.

Ella loved being at the school. She hopped up in the desk and started coloring. Her favorite part, though, had to be the ice cream bars they gave all the kids on the way out.
