Last Wednesday was International Day at our school. It was a great celebration of the Father's creativity. My students came dressed in their beautiful traditional clothes... unfortunately we Americans mostly resorted to jeans and t-shirts :( I wore my Red Sox shirt and favorite jeans for the morning and then changed into my sari late morning. (I had to wait for Mrs. Mithal to come and help me!
- My beautiful girls in their hanboks~ Heather, Sara, Sally, Maria, Louise
- My boys! Some came in their traditional clothing (Danny had to leave for Korea so he did not wear his) I have a little more diversity in my classroom compared to last year- I have 11 students from Korea, 1 from America, and 1 from India. Some of my boys chose to wear their tai kwon do and soccer outfits....

In the afternoon, parents join us and bring food from their home country. After the meal, students, teachers, and parents headed outside to watch some cultural performances.
~ Sara with her younger brother Joseph and mom
~ Eshatva, one of my students, played his casio and sang India's national anthem!
We were thankful for some warmer weather since this year's performance was held outside!
Highlights of International Day included:
~ Tamaki performing a traditional Japanese dance
~ a traditional Korean clothing fashion show
~ The Chinese teachers version of a Chinese opera
John performed an amazing song on the er hu (a traditional Chinese instrument) This was probably one of my favorite acts :) Maybe someday I will learn to play the er hu...
ESLA reunion! 
Another great thing about International Day is the chance to see past students
Me with some of my girls from my ESL class last year!
