As you know we have a houseguest for two weeks, She is from Torino, will be 16 in August, and is here to take ballet lessons and improve her English. She is very nice, and Nick and Laura are quite taken with her.Today we went to PS 6 to meet the teachers and get some info about kindergarten. Nick behaved and so did Laura, and both were quite happy when I left them in the classroom with their teachers and classmates. We don’t know yet who their actual teachers will be they will let us know in August. We were also told that they still don’t know if there will be 5 or 6 kindergarten classes. Though we did find out that thanks to Joel Klein, the NYC Schools Chancellor, we will not be allowed to have assistant teachers anymore. Why he decided that this was a good idea when class size is at its highest is a mystery. All of you should be thrilled to know that the US soccer team beat Spain 2-0. This is an amazing victory as Spain is probably the best team right now.

It is good for Laura and Nick to be able to have a look at class rooms and experience the school, teachers and other kids.
your guest looks lovely. Is she at her dance classes most of the day?
The US faces either Brazil or South Africa next. Should be exciting.
I think Brazil. As for Virginia she is out for about 5 hours, most of her classes start in the late morning and she comes home after she is done.
