Aeryn's First Day of First Grade

W00t! W00t!
She does it like a pro: no tears, no running.

A note about the school, the Science Academy of Chicago: I wouldn't say 'multicultural' as much as 'bicultural'. Large Muslim presence. Funny for a nonreligious school run in what used to be a Catholic school, adjacent to a Catholic church, to be full of what many people might say 'scary people', and yet they prefer this over a 'muslim school'. The Jews send their kids to religious schools, the Catholics send theirs to religious schools and here are Muslims--perceived as being even more devout--sending their kids to a 'science academy'.

Well, at least we don't need to move to a predominantly Muslim country in order to learn a bit more of their culture.
