School Started

School started!  The kids are attending a small, multicultural school.  Most of the kids are Fijian or Indian.  It is K-8 and there are 60 kids total.  One class for each grade.  The classrooms are sparse, kids bring their own pencil bag and paper.  No manipulatives or learning toys.  Just a teacher.  One worksheet a day.  Uniforms are required in all schools, I love that. This picture was taken on "sports" day, which is a t=shirt and shorts.  I wish all schools would have uniforms.  Jonah and Alina are proud, it feel like a team - it offers a nice sense of belonging.  Here is Alina in her class.
