Tonight we went to an Open House for the kids' international school. In Annie's second grade class, some countries represented are Norway, Kazakhstan, Iran, Jordan, Romania, Turkey, Canada, USA, Japan, South Africa, and Korea. I was most interested in meeting the Romanian parents since Annie says the boy from Romania is her new best friend (keep in mind she professes many best friends). It really was amazing when we went around the room and everyone introduced themselves and said where they were from. It really made the world seem a bit smaller.
Here's one question you don't get at the American open house: "Do you take off for spelling the Australian way? Like colour, favourite, etc?" That was asked in the sixth grade room. And FYI, no, Australians and British kids are not deducted points for their spelling even though it is an American curriculum.
While we were at Open House, the kids stayed home with a babysitter. I ordered Little Greaser's (excuse me, Caesar's) for them. It wasn't a hot-n-ready, but it was still a good price. We just got a Little Caesar's in town, so the kids and babysitter were excited. The little man on the moped delivered it in 30 minutes.
