First day of school

For our kids school started Aug.15. Only 1 of my 6 students actually wanted to go to school, rest of them begged, and asked to stay home with me :(  I would love to keep them all home, and homeschool all of my kids, but I do know that they need to be around other kids, and learn proper English. We speak 99% Ukrainian at our house, and for our new kids its important to speak and learn English.

 EE and SN are in 3rd grade, DJ in 6th, DA in 5th, and Denny and DD are in kindergarten.

 First breakfast in school.

I stayed for kindergarten orientation, and did take picture of my two little boys. When I was ready to leave DD almost cried, but he was so happy to be in same class with Denny. It took me 3 day, and 10 phone call to school office and principal to have them in same class, long story but we have a awesome principal and she understood our situation. Officially DD is in 1st grade, and we all know that he is not ready for it. We will keep him in Kindergarten this year. And our princess and I stay home :)

We worried a lot about first day of school, we prayed that we will not have any criers. Praising our God! They had a great day at school and even our kindergartens like it , and they all want to go back to school as long as I stay home and meet them after school :)

Bus stopped two blocks from our home, we can see the bus from our house. First day me and our Princess went to meet boys from bus. 

DD and Princess were not separable during summer, and they are missing each other now while DD is in school. I just love this picture, DD watching cartoon, and Princess playing with my phone.
