Starting School in Berlin









Here is a picture of Joshua, son of Pastor John and Stephi. Joshua started school this past fall. He did not attend kindergarten (childrengarden), but was able to start first grade. The schools have a celebration to welcome the students starting school. The parents make or buy the big cones and fill them with sweets and gifts. Lucy and I were honored to be invited by Joshua to observe this celebration, along with his family. The teachers and older students staged a great program to welcome the first graders. It was a wonderful introduction to school.
