My Favorite Second Grader!

Ellie Ling has officially entered second grade this year! I cannot believe how big my little girl is. She was so excited to go to school that we didn't really follow the seven day quarentine procedure that is loosely in place at the school now. (Basically, if you leave the country you should consider a home quarentine for 7 days after you have returned to China. We are waiting to see if the government will enforce this policy stronger in the next few months.) She has many familiar faces in her class from last year along with 6 new children. One of the most difficult aspects of an international school is the transient population - there are constantly students and teachers coming and going. Ellie was very fortunate this year and she only had to say good-bye to two of her friends, so she was welcomed back by a sea of smiling, familiar faces!!


Ellie and her dear friend Soo Yoon and her new teacher! I'm so grateful that she happily went off to her classroom with no issues!! Now the boys, they were a different story!!
