Today is special for two reasons. First, it is my last day of teaching Year 1 (I will be in a new role next semester). Second, 100 days from today I will be married! I am so excited!
It has been an amazing semester with 18 wonderful children. I am happy to say that I will still get to teach them a few afternoons a week next semester, but I will be entering the role of ESL (English as a Second Language) support for students that need a little extra help. This is really an area that I love teaching and I am looking forward to working one on one with students.
As I reflect back on the semester I see many challenges and successes. I am exhausted and ready for a holiday break, but I couldn't be happier or more pleased with how far my students have come and how much they are growing.
I wish I could show you mare pictures of my students and how wonderfully they looked and did on their Christmas production of the Little Drummer Boy, but policies are policies so I have included a couple fun photos that will let you have an idea of my class.

This is a very interesting Bengali dessert/drink. It has icecream, jello, tapioca and noodles. Yummy..... well sort of.... drinking it through a straw make it an experience indeed. And of course I just had to try it with my food buddy Leslie!
Shompa and me out for some Mugli Parata. This was actually really really good. It is a fried dough with egg inside.
This 'Germany' rickshaw is for my lovely parents.
My dear friend Rumpa's (Shompa's sister) birthday. It is tradition that you feed each other a bite of cake.
After reports are all finished we had a staff luncheon on our campus. The ladies made wonderful Bangla food.
A Real Thnksgiving!
With real turkey and ham!! It has become an annual tradition at Grace International School to have an all staff Thanksgiving dinner. It was a wonderful gift, though it was hard not being with family.
