First day of school

I made the kids go upstairs last night at 8:30 p.m. They were in bed before 9:00 p.m.

It was RG's first day of high school. He's in grade 10 (Senior 2) now. It's only an orientation day. They had free barbeque for lunch.

RK started grade 1 under Mrs. S, who was also RC's grade 1 teacher. RK and cousin Amica are in the same class, so are most of their classmates from kindergarten. RC (grade 5) and cousin Angelus (grade 6) are in the same (multi-age) class as well, grade 5/6. I went to school with them in the morning to help them carry their school supplies. When they were in line outside the back door, Mrs. L, their kindergarten teacher came by the English Grade 1 line and said "Hi" and "You've all grown taller."
