David goes to school

Here in Peru, kids start school early (as early as 18 months!), and they are serious about school. Preschool is called "Nido," which means nest in Spanish. David has a uniform (shorts and t-shirt for the summer; gym suit for the winter), books, notebooks (for homework!), and his "lonchera" (lunchbox/backpack). There is no messing around here. They have music on Tuesdays, karate on Wednesdays (we have to buy a karate uniform) and expresion corporal (sort of like theater) on Thursdays. He arrives at school at 8:30 in the morning and is done at 12:30. David is in the Elmo room with other two to two and a half year olds. He loves the little tikes cozy coupe!

Amigos...


Novios! (I think David is being a little coy...)



David in his "aula" (room) with his teacher's assistant Miss Judith. David really likes his teacher Miss Katty (short for Katherine) and Miss Judith - he's always excited to go see them in the morning. You can see his artwork on the wall behind him.
Headed home after a long day with his new lonchera...

This is so cute! I love the uniforms and the "amigos" photo. But I'm dying to know, what does he have for homework?
