It was different today. Fabian had his first day at the International School. It is not easy to feel comfortable in a new school, in a different country with no friends and no foreign language skills (besides a little english). But with Mama Dagmar, Brother Jonathan and Daddy Marc it was a little easier but not totally satisfying for Fabian. Since the kids at school have write examns this first week after the holidays it is boring for Fabian. Bruno, his teacher talked also in german, but Fabian was not really happy at all and was sitting in the room with some tears in the eyes. But the kids in his class were all pretty nice and gave him a warm welcome. After having some mathematics together with Daddy Fabian went to his first break. Immediately some girls (Karla, Rebecca and Karla) came and talked to him. Little Karla is german and speaks german and translated between french and german. That was really cute.
Just before the lunch break the class had also GERMAN. That was the first time Fabian really warmed up and smiled. The other Kids were asking Fabian questions. Teacher Karla helped them and so we mastered the first part of Fabian first school day. In the lunch break Fabian and Daddy went home to Mama Dagmar and Jonathan. Mama was preparing lunch and waiting desperately for Fabian. She was so excited and feeling together with Fabian.
After the break Daddy could not stay in the class with Fabian. But the german Teacher and Bruno made a deal. Since the kids write tests and Fabian can’t really learn something he will be picked up after one hour at 2pm by Daddy. So he was happy. Since they found out the CM2 class is too tough for Fabian he moved to the class with little Karla, that translates a little bit from french to german.
That will help Fabian. It was a tough, exciting day for all of us and we will look forward how it develops.
