The school year is over

It's time to say good bye for the Alakylä school in Lappeenranta. While it was Jonna's last year in grade school they all got roses. Viivi got the teddy bear from her teacher just to say good bye. Next year we'll be in Mikkola school all together once again. Mikkola school is a comprehensive school with grades 1 to 9 so even Jonna stays with us in the same school but she'll just be in upper grades and in subject teacher system. That will be a big change for her but she is very happy to get back to the old school with old friends. Normally the grades 7-9 are in different school buildings. My classroom will be next to Viivi's classroom. I don't know yet if it's a good or a bad thing :).

Anyway I'm very proud of our beautiful daughters. They came home with good reports and many good moments and experiences with their friends and teachers at school! They adapted to the new school well and became part of it in short time. In my opinion the best part of being one year in Alakylä school for our girls was excellent hand craft teaching. The skirt Jonna is wearing she made herself for example.

Happy summertime to all of you!
