SCHOOL - The very first 5 months

We have the mid-year school report in our hands and to tell you the truth I have to be very proud. The very first feedback about Dominik's general accomplishment that evaluates him subject by subject and says that his behaviour and application are exemplary (5). It is also good to be aware that he belongs to the most skillful one third of the class. (They are altogether 32.)

Correlating with the nursery, the two most spectacular differences are the dirty clothes and the tiredness. When I pick him up from school in the afternoon, I just see his dirty coat, splashy trousers and muddy shoes and wonder if he had a good time or not. Although, he usually apologize and feel sorry about it but blames the weather. We usually hardly arrive home and I see looking backward that only a few more minutes would need and he would fall asleep. He extremely tired by the end of the day, although he says that the time passes faster than in the nursery. He visits the library with pleasure.

Within this five months, all of his tests and assessments were well above 90% - except one. That was only 84% just because his glasses. On that day, he crashed into a big boy accidently in the school yard while both running and his glasses were broken and saw not very well when wrote the test. So yes, also the first glass exchange happened during the first semester. 

As for the teachers, there are three of them. Half of the subjects are taught by one of them, the other half by the other one and English is taught by a third one. It quite funny that two of them stopped teaching them from the second semester since both are expecting babies.

English. Dominik is specialized in English and I'm happy to speak with him and repeat the learned things and even more. I was very happy to read the evaluation of this subject in his report: his vocabulary is rich; he can easily memorize and recall the learned songs and sayings; his speech comprehension is excellent; understands and follows the instructions; his pronounciation is correct. 
We are looking forward the second semester of this (not always very challenging) first year.
