Here is the first picture of my students. This is Kvarta class, my youngest ones. They are equivalent to ninth graders back home, and I learned all their names first because I see them 4 times per week!

The rest of my 12 groups meet once per week or once every other week, so it's a little bit more difficult. I have to get the terminology straight. I have called my classes "groups" here because a class in Gymnazium is what we would call a graduating class at home. It's all the kids who enter the school and leave the school in the same year. They stay together as a group for every course for the entire time they are in the school.
