Grade R
Here in South Africa, we use the term Grade
R instead of Kindergarten. In my Grade R class, I have eight students. There
are six boys and two girls.
The school year here in South Africa goes from the
second week of January until the first week of December. They will then have
summer vacation from December until mid January. The reason behind this is
their summer season (HOT season) will begin here in September and will continue
until February. At the end of this school year (December), I will have two of
my student moving on to first grade. The other six will remain in Grade R with
me for another year. The reason behind this is because some students simply
aren’t ready for Grade 1 yet. Also, some of my students are only 4 years old.
Along with the 2 students moving to Grade 1, I will be getting a handful of new
students. I have not been told an exact number yet.
Below you can find an individual picture of
each of my students!

Each of my students are truly such a blessing and I look forward to spending everyday with them. They have all already grown so much and I cannot wait to see where the next year takes us!
Peace and love to all ♡
