Today was the first day of school for Adam and Delaney. I (David) took Delaney who started at 8:30 and Carolyn took Adam who started at 9:40. We rode public transportation and the bus that Delaney and I took just happened to be yellow, and was of Soviet era. In the afternoon, Carolyn and I went together to pick up the kids. Delaney was done at 2:30 and Adam at 2:15. On the way, we spotted a Hummer H2. Go figure. I think our return bus driver was trained as a NY city cab driver. Craaaazzzyyyyyyy!
The kids' schools are right next to each other. This is Adam's school. The Gymnasium (middle school) and Liciem (high school) are in the same building. His classmates all have the same class schedule, so the whole group stays together throughout the day (except at the end of the day when the choose separate physical education options, and when the have different language classes). He has 2 guys in his class and about 12 girls. He reported that computer science was weird because his teacher didn't speak any English (although his classmates do), private Polish lessons were fun and he has a lot of vocabulary words to memorize as homework already, math was fine - they were able to access his geometry book online and work from there.
Delaney's school is directly next door to Adam's. She was greeted the morning with shrieks of delight from the girls in her class. (She's about 6 inches taller than all of them!)
