First Day at Del Mar Academy

The fairies had their first day at the wonderful Del Mar Academy. This school is a bilingual Montessori school and along with their school year program they have their Splash program which we have enrolled in. The girls spend the first half of their day learning Spanish with the other Splash kids and the rest of the day they are interacting with the full year students and working on their studies from home.

Here is a picture of the fairies with their teacher Jess....love her (and all the other staff at the school). Notice their school uniforms.





The fairies had their backpacks and clothes ready to go in the morning. Fairy2 was sooo excited and was not sooooo patient (go figure) waiting for her parents to fill out the paperwork before her school day began. MomT and DadD showed up a little early to pick them up and felt like they were spying as they hid behind the trees and watched them interact with their new environment. Fairy1 was out on the field for PE and Fairy2 was taking out the compost with her teacher and some classmates. They both had a great day. The staff commented that they were easygoing and outgoing. The director told us she thought Fairy1 probably already had 10 new friends.
Fairy1's favorite thing about the school was the fact that she could eat the food. The woman preparing the food has the same gluten/wheat intolerance as Fairy1 and they receive amazing meals everyday. MomT is so excited to not have to pack lunches yipppee!
Fairy2's favorite thing about school was working on all of the school work she brought with her. Thanks to Miss Cindy at home, she has tons.
MomT and DadD enjoyed yoga at the Yoga Institute at their Treetops studio (it is what it sounds like....in the jungle, open air and at the top of the tree line). There is something right about doing yoga in the jungle.
After yoga DadD picked up some surfboards.

We all celebrated the first day of school by going out to an early sushi dinner. The monkeys greeted us as we walked through the gardens of the Harmony on our way to the restaurant. Don't worry Cindy J we said hi for you in our best howler monkey howls.
