They need so many school supplies! I'm sure we've never spent so much. Perhaps it's specific to this school, but they need a lot of art supplies- tubes of paint, watercolors, brushes, palates, various pencils, crayons, pastels, assorted high-end papers etc etc etc (including the "kufřík"- a little cardboard suitcase- to keep them in) all of which is great (I'm so glad they take art seriously, but pricey. This isn't even including the rest of it- specific pens/pencils, notebooks of varying sized, plastic covers for everything (including workbooks), assorted tools, nameplates for the desks, etc. Antonín even needed a litle tablecloth & apron (for the art box).
It's Friday. We have, almost, survived the first week. Getting up early is hard (everything seems so much more foreboding in the dark) & getting eveyone fed/ dressed/ packed/ to the bus & delievered to their particular building will take some practice (patience). Antonín walks as if he's tethered to an iron ball (which is what I feel like as I attempt to hurry him along). The school seems great- the teachers very nice- & I believe that all will go swimmingly, eventually (well, when they're able to understand everything that's being said)...
