The first day of school for Emersyn is later than normal due to the Olympics. She is now a 3rd grader at Concordia International School. She has a male teacher for the first time, Mr. Gerlach. He is very nice man with two young children, ages 2 & 4. Therefore, he is in the “thick of it” with children, which I believe helps to build patience. Her classroom is on the 4th floor resulting in good leg exercises everyday. The school does have an elevator, but students are not allowed to take the elevator without a parent. She continues to ride the school bus and sits with Jonvi for the 3rd year. Jonvi is a 4th grader.

I did not take a photo the first day of school. This is Emersyn’s Fall uniform with a layer of warmth.
