The Begining of Many Updates

So since my last update about 6 months have pasted, mainly 'cause I got tired of the blog not working here so I stoped checking. Checked on a whim today and here it is up and running just fine. So I will have to do several updates to get caught up.

The weekend after my last post I did go hiking. It was to a beautiful place and I had a great time.

There are more pictures from this hike, but they do not want to load right now, so I will have to try again later.

In November and December we had lots of fun with the kids, including a winter presentation where our students sang (sort of) for their parents, and a health check along with regular class activities.

Music class is lots of fun.

You get to dance,
use the egg shakers,
and even learn how to play wter filled bottles.
And once you have gotten the hang of it...
you can help your friends.
The only down side is that the first couple of classes Simon might seem a bit scary :)

Of course we allow no fun during class time, so the students have to make the most of their playground time :)

Here they are in art class. This is very serious work you know.

The heath check was run in the school by our nurse. It still made some of the kids nervous. Some of them do not like to do things that are so different from their regular routine.

Here are some of the photos from the winter presentation, aren't they cute all dressed up?
