Alison goes back to school...

Well, Alison went back to school today. She was very excited and could not wait to see her friends again. She is in what's called here Kinder III. This is the same as Kindergarden in the states. They are a little more ahead here though. She will have to take a test in March in order to get into 1st grade. The test will have reading comprehension, math, writing (in cursive) and I'm not sure what else. All of this will be in Spanish of course. So on top of that I will be teaching her all these same things in English. I am sure this will be nice and confusing. But I wish that I had learned Spanish at her age!
