Today was the first day of school at The Island Academy!  Whit and I picked up Iris at 3pm and it was obvious that her teacher was already smitten.  Iris was all smiles and seemed to enjoy the day.  Iris says her favorite thing about school playing was banana tag at recess.  One hour later, we picked up Sam and Julia.  They will get out at 4pm three days a week because PE is after school.  We were impressed when we pulled up and the boys were running wind sprints!  Sam was drenched.  So much for wearing the same PE clothes all week!  Sam says his favorite thing about school was the fact that they have THREE recesses – one before school, one at snack break time, and another after lunch.  Julia says she loved the lunch and getting to use her new school supplies.  The “school lunch” is brought in by Mr. Lelo (for those Heiskell families reading this, it reminds me of the setup they had with Ms. Kim), whose wife cooks lunch and he brings it in his taxi cab.  On Wednesdays, they have a formal lunch where they have to sit at the table with napkins in lap, eat “real” food with a knife and fork, and converse with the teacher.
