The 5-7 year old class participates in this ceremony which includes the singing of a German song about the first day of school. Here are two photos from the 2011 ceremony. We can't wait for the first day of school to do this again this year.

Schultüten Ceremony on the First Day of School
Parents in Germany traditionally give their child a "Schultüte" or cone-shaped present filled with little gifts, candy, and school supplies on their first day of first grade. We have adopted this tradition and have a special ceremony on the first day of school since we usually have many students from Germany enrolled in our school. German is also one of the languages we study starting at age 2 1/2.
The 5-7 year old class participates in this ceremony which includes the singing of a German song about the first day of school. Here are two photos from the 2011 ceremony. We can't wait for the first day of school to do this again this year.
