Barnaby Bear is the class bear for Eleri’s class. Each child gets to bring Barnaby Bear home for the night. They get to write, draw a picture or add a photo to his book. Elle drew a picture of Barnaby Bear.

The girls are always busy with activities because they enjoy them and because they are CHEAP. It makes a difference in saying yes. This semester’s schedule is as followed:

Monday: Elle tennis at 4pm & Emmy tennis at 5pm – 150rmb per girl ($22) Tuesday: Elle swim at 4pm & Emmy swim at […]

Eleri’s first day of school. She is now a Year 1/Kindergarten student with a big girl uniform. It is similar to Emmy’s uniform. She is so proud of her new “costume”, as she calls it. She doesn’t even complain that the shirt is a little tough to go over her big head. I guess […]

Emersyn’s first day of school. She in now a 4th grader, the big kids of the Elementary building. Where has the time gone? She has the same teacher, Mr. Gerlach, the same classroom and most of the same kids…easy year. I asked her if she wanted me to take her to school or did […]

Upon waking Eleri up today and reminding her it was her performance day, she broke into singing her songs…for the first time at home. I asked her why she had not been singing them before…”Daddy, because you don’t know the words!”

Cupcakes were made again today for Emersyn’s class to celebrate her birthday. My chocolate cake with chocolate frosting recipe tastes best with Hershey’s cocoa. Since finding the Hershey cocoa in Shanghai is a challenge, I bring it back from the USA. After two cakes and two sets of cupcakes, my supply is low.

In celebration of Eleri’s birthday, I took cupcakes to school. Eleri was thrilled to have her class sing her “happy birthday” and pass out the cupcakes.

You ask what is an “in-informance”. As was explained by Emersyn’s music teacher, Mr. Nurre, it was the concept of bringing the parents “into” the classroom to see what the kids were learning. In other words, the kids performed an “extemporaneous” recital in the gym (with a bit of chaos).

Recorders anyone?

Wearing school uniforms does have its own advantages – like no discussion on what to where on any given day. The schools come up with fun ways to dress “out of uniform”. Concordia, Emersyn’s school, does this more than Dulwich (it must be an American thing). Below are the fun dress days for the […]

Emersyn’s class had a school field trip today. We began the field trip at the World Financial Center (WFC). We watched the WFC grow from our apartment. It is currently the tallest building in Shanghai with 104 floors.
