Today was Sophia’s first day of school. As you may have surmised, the first day of first grade is on a Saturday (in this part of Germany anyway). Our day started with a church service.
Followed by a presentation of the second graders for the new first graders.
Followed by Champagne and/or Mimosas for the adults while the kids met their teachers in the classroom. B caught Emily secretly nursing a Mimosa in a place she thought was out of sight. As she’s only 8, I have a feeling the teen years are not going to be easy.
All the parents then piled into the classroom to take pictures and present the kids with Schultüte, essentially a cardboard cone filled with stuff they need for school, presents etc., modeled below by the lovely B.
It’s a very disorganized affair by German standards, but the important thing is that’s it’s over. Anyway, congratulations to Sophia on her first day of school! This is a major milestone in the Prickril family history: All kids have made it past Kindergarten!
