Time to Party!

We had multiple parties over the past few weeks. But first, there were exams. Here is fourth class meditating before the exam. All the students and teachers meditate before every school day, which is pretty cool. For a blase Westerner like me, it is just the sweetest thing to see every morning. Most schools in our area do this.

After exams, we pulled out every donated toy we've ever gotten and had a BLAST. I can't believe the pictures!



Then the older kids made"Big Book" story books for the little ones. Look at his face, Ramesh is just glowing. He loves seeing his words "in print" on a big book.


Our last party of the season was the teachers' party. We all wrote letter to ourselves to read every holiday season detailing our goals for our families, ourselves, and our school. Then, for a "present," we made a card for each person, one for Usha Madam, one for Divya, etc. Then everyone else wrote wrote something nice about that person on "their card." We put the cards in envelopes and then passed them out and read them. Tears and happiness, as expected! The teachers really loved it.
