First day of German elementary school: check!
Celebratory quarktasche after first German elementary schoolday: check!
(Maggie was much less nervous than I expected; she admitted to “an eighth” of being scared. Her teacher, Frau Spahn, speaks some English and seated her next to a bilingual girl from Texas. After-school club — which starts directly after lunch — proved a success as well. Apparently sidewalk chalk is a universal language. Now comes the hard part: deciphering the school supply list. And convincing Maggie that a pastry for morning snack is not viable for everyday.)
So proud of our fearless Maggie!

Whew! Nana was 7/8 nervous! Now 100% proud! Well done all!
Maggie I am so amazed. Tell us about the kids in your class. How many girls/ boys. What do you think of the teacher? What grades are in the school? Do any of the other kids have red hair?
Oh boy!! Wunderfraeulein! mit rotem Haar!! Schön ! Ich bin stolz auf Euch. Es bringt Erinnerungen von Bürokratie. Allerdings, wenn man sich, als Ausländer in USA anmelden muss, findet man, dass die Deutschen nicht die einzige mit Bürokratie sind. Nun bin ich gespannt auf die nächste Nachricht. Macht’s gut!
