A "Tragic Holiday"

Our last school year here has finally begun. We are finishing up our second week and starting it get back into the grove of things. This year I will be team teaching with my counterpart, a Bulgarian teacher. We are still working out the best way to separate the lessons, but I think that it will be helpful to her and to the students. Here are some pictures from my first day. The first day is a celebration.


We have lots of speeches and songs. Then the first graders come forward.



The School Director throws water on the ground and older students hold up a flower arch. Here are the first graders entering the school, they are always the first to enter the school.


It is a fun day. After the celebrations at school, I went out to lunch with some fellow teachers. They all called the the day a "Tragic Holiday"
