Last Day of School!!!

Ella is officially a 3rd grader now! She successfully completed her 2nd grade year at Indus International School in Bangalore, India. We are very proud of her! She has learned so much this year in a very enriching environment, learning things from her friends, teachers, and surroundings (all that traveling too!) that she never would have in Minnesota! (They don't teach the Indian national anthem there, or how to dig for clams in the ocean, do they?! ) :) She will start school in Byron this fall, back with her wonderful Minnesota friends, but will greatly miss the friends she's made from around the world here! Hopefully her geography skills will benefit from knowing all the places her friends are from!

Sacia is officially a Kindgergartener now! Here in India, she'd on to Prep-2 , which is another name for Kindergarten. She has adjusted amazingly to a full day of school here, playing and learning social skills along with her class, and learning great foundations for reading and math and more. We are very proud of her! Mrs. Hamilton in Byron will have a very energetic, bright addition (with a wonderful Indian accent!) to her classroom on RED day!

Look how the girls have changed:

Do you recognize this little girl? Sacia's very first day of school!


Ella has grown up so much this past year! Here she is on her first day at Indus.
