Ceara and Calen Head to School

Ceara headed to grade one this year, where has the time gone? Hard to believe that she's already in school! Calen also is going to school as he is in preschool. He went last year to a daycare to learn some Spanish but we felt he wasn't getting enough so this year he joined his sister in their new school, Academy Bell. As you can see by their uniforms, the colors are very similar to the Brazil flag. Well that is because the owners used to live in Brazil and know Portuguese. We decided on this school because of the fact the classes were small, the teaching is very advanced and the kids will learn, English, Spanish and Portuguese. We hope that they will retain some of what they learn in Portuguese so that one day should they decide to return to the home of their birth they would have the ability to talk in their native tongue. They really are enjoying their new school and we are getting to know quite a few of the parents as well. We are very pleased with their new school and it's a definite bonus that it now is a block from our home. Pray for them as they continue to grow and learn, make friends and learn three languages at once.
