Skolan

Yesterday's visit with the teacher ended up taking 2 1/2 hours. She was very nice, seemed very dedicated to her work and very open minded. I liked that she emphasized bullying was not permitted in school and that she would always listen to the girls if something happens where they are picked on.

She invited the twins to see the school today, and we toured it this morning. It is a very nice school, small but nice. There is soccer field, and a playground, and the class that the twins will be in to prepare for Swedish classes is small and has three other girls their age.

The library is an interesting design with shelves around the outside of a space in the hall, and inside, many nice computers for the kids to use.

The cafeteria has a salad bar and serve yourself food. Recycling bins of course.

The kids have swimming on Monday, and gym on Tuesday. They are to shower after gym and there are no private shower stalls. Tayler is very upset about this.

We met the principal, who is a young guy with high ambitions to make the school one of the best in Sweden.

Everyone was very welcoming and wanted to shake our hands. The twins are the first American students to come to the school.

The girls are apprehensive about their first day on Monday, but I think once they start, they will be fine.
