New school schedule

We are on the second week of the new school schedule. The kids really seem to like the new schedule. Although change has come with their new schedule. I go to school to pick them up at 11:30 every day for lunch. Upon arriving at home they eat their lunch. Then the quickly get busy doing their afternoon chore. Such as washing dishes, cleaning the kitchen, folding clothes, or cleaning the eating area. The kids do such a better job a getting their job done knowing they have a short amount of time to complete their chore. There are a few things the kids don't have time to do. So the ladies help finish up whatever needs to be done. We load the van up about 12:40 and back out the gate. The kids have to be back at school by 1:00.
Not everyone goes home during their lunch break. Although with as many of kids as we have it is easiest to bring them home to eat. I can't imagine taking them food and having to watch all 14 of them every day for an hour and a half as they run all over the school. Most of the kids that live close to the school they walk home for lunch. The other ones their parents pack them lunch or their parents bring them lunch.
The ladies have a little bit of a bigger load as the kids are not able to make tortillas, get firewood, and complete some of their daily chores they normally would do in the afternoon. Although for the most part the homework stays the same and the kids still get to play in the afternoon. Since the kids get home at 3 now I was worried as to how they would get all of their homework done in time. Although they are all making it happen. The 5th grade teacher is a little rough and has given Katy and Sisi tons of homework every night. So there has been tears, anger and all sorts of emotions as they get frustrated and discouraged by their amount of homework.
For the most part it has been a smooth transition into the the new schedule with the kids.
