First Day of School

The first day of school for the first graders is a big thing here in Germany. There's a church service and then everybody walks up to the school where the rest of the students, 2-4 grade, do a welcoming ceremony where they sing some songs and put on a little skits and such. Then there's coffee and cake for everyone while the 1st graders have their first lesson with the teacher for an hour. The elementary school is really small with only 42 kids in the whole school. There are 8 kids in Maxwell's 4th grade class and 10 in Marcus' 3rd grade class.
