We are grateful to our partners and their students for their attentive work. We had lunch together with the kids. After the lunch we took the train to the Municipality. The building was rather modern. We met the mayor Herr Dr. Lenz (social major). He gave us information about the system and showed us around.

We were taken from the hotel by our German Friends. Today is our last day in Karlsruhe. We visited the Adam Remnele School which was opposite the Day Care Center. Frau Knopf, the Second Head Teacher, showed us the school and gave us information.Then we had a chat about the smilarities and the differences in our education system. This school was called Haupt Schüle. They start school at the age of 6. Here the kids take 4 years of primary education first. After 4 years, according to the student’s success, the parents and the teachers come together and decide whether the kid should stay in Haupt schüle or go to another kind of school like Real schüle or Gymnasium. At this school they give importance to practice. For example; in one of the classes the kids learn how to cook and wash clothes and dishes. All the classes are arranged specially for the lessons. After that visit, we came back to the day care center and sang songs with the kids. We took a little walk around the center. Edith showed us the beautiful areas for various outdoor facilities. We were tranced by the richness and variety of those fields. We met Edith’s very young mother outside the center. We had fun in our last hours at the center. The kids prepared wonderful shows for us. One of them was “ The Musicians of Bremen”. It was prepared by the group “Taka Tuka Land”. The other was “The Little Butterfly” performed by the kindergarten students. They were fabulous. At the end they gave us beautiful gifts. We would like to thank our friends and their students by heart.
