The first week of class is over for the little ones in the Philippines! The kinder students were so happy to see their friends again and the nursery students are just excited to start school for the first time

| Nursery AM |
There are two sessions of nursery school. One in the morning and on in the afternoon. They spent the first week getting to know each other, learning songs, practicing writing their names, and in the picture the the left we see them learning names for different body parts (some of them were a bit distracted by the photographer), and so much more. It was a very busy week for the children.
The teacher for the nursery classes is Eve. Last year Miss Eve was a Her Star Scholar scholarship recipient. Her Star paid for her exam preparation classes and associated exam classes so that she could become a licensed teacher.

The Kinder 1 classes also meet during the morning session.

Five of the girls who have advanced from Nursery School have their uniforms from last year, but the other children are still waiting. The uniforms are sewn by hand by an elderly woman in the community who is so excited to have the income provided by sewing uniforms. Each school chooses its own uniform which is distinct from other schools in the area. Because the children wear uniforms every day, parents don't need to spend money on new school clothes.
Later this week I will add pictures of the Kinder 2 students.
