Tillykke Myra!

It was a difficult decision to decide how to educate our kids while we live here in Denmark.  We decided the best thing would be to just put the kids in regular Danish school, that way they could learn the language and make friends that live near them.  So, Myra was enrolled in School and placed in a special class that is designed just for children moving here from other countries.  Last October, she was placed in a regular Danish class for about half time.  She did really well, juggling two different classes and a changing schedule.  Her teacher called me about 2 weeks ago to inform me that they felt she was ready to move into a regular class full time!  Today was her last day in the "learning Danish class" and after the winter break next week, she will go full time to her regular class.  I have been so proud of how well she has learned Danish.  We always have people comment to us on how well she speaks and that she has perfect pronunciation, which is very challenging!  And she has done so well with learning the language and moving around from class to class.  Her teacher said to me today that Myra is a very special girl.  She always has a smile and is always so happy.  We are so very grateful for her happiness.  What a great girl!

Her class threw her a little going away party with treats and a book they had put together for her with pictures and notes from everyone.  And I took a few pictures.  She is sad to leave these friends behind, but I think she will really love being in the other class full time.  Congratulations Myra!

Myra's had such a fun time getting to know kids from all over the world.  She's had kids in her class from Turkey, Pakistan, Romania, Bulgaria, Slovakia, the Philippines, Canada and Poland.  What a great experience!
