Julia started her second year of school in September, now in moyen section, which means the "middle section" or second year of preschool. Everyone at this level will be 4 years old by the end of December, and now they all stay a full day until at least 3:30pm. Julia stays an extra hour until 4:30pm to get the gouter offered, a snack followed by some play time.
This is her class this year, a woman teacher and boys outnumber the girls 17-10. There are at least 3 other girls who were in her class last year too, so she knows some familiar faces. The first few weeks were a rough adjustment where she was frequently tired every evening and didn't always want to go. It's gotten a lot better and lately she has even started speaking a lot more french with us and around the house.

Four days a week she stays for lunch at the cantine. Wednesdays, school is only a half day and everyone comes home at 11:30am. We try to ask what she eats at lunch, but most of the time she doesn't want to tell us, or maybe she doesn't know. Her afternoon snack is often a baguette with chocolate or jam in the middle, or a biscuit with chocolate in the middle.
At the end of this month they have their first vacances or "break" from school for two weeks. We're planning to go to England to see cousins over there for a few days.
I didn't know she was staying at school all day. So, no nap?
ReplyDeleteNope, no nap on those 4 days. She gets one Wednesday and sometimes on the weekend.
