The kids started school / childcare on Monday. Actually, we registered them in the school when we first arrived to Stockholm thinking the registration will take some time. We just picked one of the many schools in Taby and thought that we may change it if we find that it is too far from our new house. So I guess we are fortunate that it is only 10 mins away from our new home.
The kids were excited and even Jonathan seemed eager to go to school. We are quite impressed with the school as we only met the school principal on Monday and spoke to her about Jon’s special needs. Today, we met Sabrina, a shadow teacher who will be attached to Jonathan and will spend 100% of her time in the class with him, looking after his needs and ensuring that he is fully engaged in class.
Linn, on the other hand, is just getting to know her classmates and she claims that she can speak swedish already. 🙂
As for me, now that we have confirmed a home in Taby, i can start going to ‘Swedish for Immigrants’. It is starting to be a problem as everything in the swedish…on the roads, in the shops, on your phone, atms, parking ticket booth, application forms. In many ways, I feel both useless and frustrated. I don’t bother to open any letters as i cannot read them. More importantly, the kids cannot go to school and enjoy free childcare unless i am attending a course or working.
So, stay tune..or should I say ‘Hej da’.
