Back to School Barbie Day 3

Back to School Barbie Day 3

Things are settling down at school.  All the students know the schedule for coffee break and lunch.  They have established their territory at the tables in the classroom and in the lunchroom.  They have figured out the bus routes and bought a bus pass for the month.

They are making new friends.  The people in my class represent many different countries and speak many different languages.  In the lunch room,  they tend to gravitate to people who share their first language but in the classroom, proximity shapes and limits their choice of friends.  Sometimes the friendships extend into their personal lives and that makes me very happy.

I'm not sure why Barbie wore gray clothes again on day 2.  The clothes were very simple and completely unadorned save the necklace and the ribbon in her ponytail. She seemed to be trying to fade into the mist.  That's a funny attitude for someone who is the center of attention for a classroom full of people all day.
