Kyle Reads, Hannah Listens

We have had a great start to the school year.  We chose to put our children into a small school by our cottage, rather than one of the larger "better" ones by my inlaws'.  The school is public.  There are 65 children in the school, from kindergarten to grade six.  Kyle has five classmates, all girls.  Hannah has 11 classmates.  The school is not pretty and it doesn't have great facilities like a swimming pool or gymnasium, but it has won awards including best kitchen in a Taiwan school and best public preschool in Taiwan.   Kyle and Hannah are happy to walk into the school every morning.  And already, I am accepted into the parent community and have joined  the "group food purchasing" team of mothers.

After two weeks in school, Kyle has started reading Chinese storybooks!  He read his first pages today.  From zero to full speed ahead in two weeks.  And Hannah loves her teachers and has learned a lot of good behaviour already.
