First day of Kindergarten (Vorschule)

Today is Florian's first day of Kindergarten or Vorschule.
He was up rather early and ready to go. He insists on spiking his hair, but does it all on his own. I am not sure when my 5 year old turned into a 13 year old!
Many of his old friends returned to the German School Chicago this school year and there are many new faces. The school now has 37 students which is a huge increase from the first year where we had 13 students.
Florian has a new class room which houses the Vorschule, 1st and 2nd Grades. He also has a new teacher, Fr. Obritzberger. Try that one fast 3 times.
Like every year, the kids got a Schultuete by Kindercone. This year's included a special pen called a Fueller (fountain pen). (Mama is jealous).
Finn wanted to also go to school, but he will have to wait a little bit longer.

Hair all done... gotta be cool.
