I may have caused some confusion in my last post. Yes, Makai will be going to school but NOT to the gahn operated by Arabs in Jaffa.
He will be attending Sari starting September 1st. We've been going almost everyday to get him acquainted with the teachers and some students. 8 of the kids currently enrolled will be returning. The other 12 will be heading off to 1st grade. They start grade 1 here at the age of 4. Unfortunately the "bully" of the group will be returning. He threw sand at Makai's face and got into some trouble for it. Surprisingly Makai didn't cry. He was a M.A.N., brushed it off his clothes and face, walked away and played with some girls. I guess my year of saying "if someone is mean to you, you don't have to play if you don't want too" has been engrained in his brain.
Here are some shots of him in action at his gahn.

| With Dror, also a new kid. |

| Open play. Arts, reading, puzzles, or dress up. He chose arts. |
We decided to give this a few months and see how it goes. The school is from 8 to 4. I will be taking him whenever he wakes up (today was 10 a.m.) til around 1 p.m. If we aren't happy with Sari then it will be back to the LG/Nguyen Academy where he'll learn...
