and so lucky…OK not the best way to start a sentence, with an and, and not even a capitalized one at that.

BUT, oops, there I go again, starting with a BUT!

Anyway…what I want to say is that I feel very fortunate to have the students I have in my class. They are a kind, considerate and intelligent group who get along very well together and enjoy learning in the classroom. They share ideas with each other, compliment each other and look out out for each other’s best interests.

Today we finished our oral presentations where for the most part, the class listened as one of their class mates stood up and independently spoke about something that was special to them. The kids were genuinely interested in what their friends had to contribute and we heard about all sorts of things from special food, teddy bears, toys, trophies and artifacts. It was a really lovely sharing experience and gave the students a chance to learn something about the people in the room that they will be spending so much of their time with.

A big thank you also goes to Misha and her Mum, Maliha Iqbal for taking the time to teach the students all about Ramadan. I know we all learned a lot from this presentation and if there are any other parents that want to come in and talk to us about anything at all, we welcome your involvement.
