Boys have to be at school before 7:00am
They have 'breakfast' at school. I normally pack a tortilla with a slice of cheese and turkey or ham. They have snacks they like to take - like cookies & chips and also carry a big Coleman cooler full of water.
They are on a set schedule just like home but they are in their classes for an hour and have a 30 minute break @ 10am for breakfast and recess. They lunch room is outside and is a covered patio like place.
They have half of the day in Spanish and half of the day in English. Math is in English.
It is too cold here now for swimming class - parents complain - but I was told that they  may start swimming again next week.
The boys each have 2 classrooms. The 5th and 6th grade swap rooms and the 3rd and 4th grades swap rooms.
One classroom is all in English - things on walls and the other classroom is all in Spanish.
They are done @ 1:30. You have until 1:45 to pick them up.
Of course I am waiting @ 1:30 for them.
There is a big gate and the PE teacher has a microphone and as you walk up to get them he calls out your child's name.
Carlie goes a little later :-)
She can be dropped of between 8 and 8:30am.
She is in Kindergarten III
that is the class before 1st grade.
There are 3 Kindergarten levels - based on age. In her case it was based on skill - since she is 5 she would have probably been in the Kindergarten II.
She has a Spanish teacher and an English teacher as well.
Her Spanish teacher knows NO ENGLISH.
They stay in the same classroom the whole day and have 'breakfast' in there too. She doesn't like recess/break because it is for 1 hour.
So from 10-11 each day - it's basically free time. She has been coloring during her free time. She has brought home some beautiful artwork.

Our condo is just the right size for us.
2 twin beds in the boys room and a king size bed for Carlie and I.
We have a big TV - which works just like you'd think it would.
We have no oven, which so far hasn't been a problem but I sure have missed my normal baking that I do several times a week.
We  have a 2 burner stove, microwave, small sink, no dishwasher and no washer/dryer.
We have a huge closet with a window with a few of the beach and ocean.
We have our Christmas photo cards up in our condo and some of them under the glass top of our kitchen table. So everyone who sent us a photo card, you are here with us!
The door to our condo is down a few steps from the pool edge. The covered patio is our roof and it gets used by everyone. I kind of wish I had a private patio but I'm sharing!!!

We use our wagon to haul our clothes to the Lavanderia & also to haul tired kids to and from 5th Avenue.
Everything is in walking distance that I need and Macarena has been so good about exposing me to all the things I need to see and do.
Really all the grocery stores and good places for breakfast. :-)

After school, the kids swim and or play on the beach. We have been playing catch everyday too. I forgot the plastic bats so that is on our list to bring from Kansas when Alexander comes back the end of the month. I told the boys, in June when they feel some sand inside their ball gloves, this will all just be a memory and that little bit of sand will take them back to this great time we are having.
