First day of practice!

First day of practice! Many nerves and a lot of anxiety ... But eager to know everything .
As communication will be with the children, as will be the routine will be the same , it will be different ? I had a lot to find out ...
And it was a great day !
People are all super friendly , helped at all, the children some came just try to know and others are more reserved ( as elsewhere ) , they did not understand me but for them there was no problem they just pull me and pointing the things, speaking in Swedish and in the end we understand each other.

It is a way to educate completely different. Children are very free and in general what working is all " subjects " chosen by them , what they want to do.

At lunch time the room is divided by three tables each one with an adult and they have lunch together. Each child makes use of what they want and like and the serve the amount they want.
Drinks are milk or water and sugar is not allowed. 
Each room is like a home, kitchen and bathroom , and is divided into three different rooms.

Every day children go out side whether sun, rain, snowing or windy.  And nature is a very important and respected element.


My room has two teachers,  two special teachers and someone that helps when it is needed. They are all the same . Overall are not the five every day it depends on the scheduls, the number of children present and if any other room needs help.


It was a great first day of practice and despite the communication barrier,  it will be a great experience!
