Cultural Packages

today we recieved a package from the USA, Ohio and it has many nice things, some students and including the headmistress were very hesitant about holding the american flag, i don't want to go deel into politics but people in Arab world feel that America doesn't respect them and therefore they act in disrespect to them, i had to remind my students that we shouldn't judge the people because of some people who took bad decissions, people are still human beings like us with good deeds and bad ones, just like us, we are not angles, we are just like them, back to to our topic, they were some sweets and i ate the first one, and there were a sweater. i love the fact that they marked everything and they label it, everything has a tag, they know a little about us, but they will know more byu time.
another e-mail from Australia, they want to work with us, i feel blessed, they are alower grader though, the students work with higher graders, i don't care about that, what we care about is the language, and there is a huge difference between teenagers outside and here, my girls will be shocked but not that much. they watch too much tv you know

I used google maps to see our friends location and they have lots if green clour around the, , lucky them

the headmistress think i am too easy with them i am not the tough kind, i like to have fun with my students and to show them the crazy person I am
so now we should send three packages
Australia
Ukraine

USA
Very nice work

shattered

what would you feel if you wake up one morning and you found out that one piece of you has been missing, what would you feel if you missed an important piece and that piece is not coming back again. it disappeared, vanished. you know it is scary how life can go so quickly from good to bad. from white to black. what if you just can't coulour it again, or you can't give it the gleaming, that special colour that makes the whole difference,
my student died. she just died, i wake up one day to hear that she has gone away
is that possible
well it is possible and it happened, it really did

the students reactions

today my students met Samantha and the bulldog, they were very excited when they read the letter from our friends in the US, Ohio,

they were very excited

thank you Atika School

Sam and the bulldog

Today we received the American Package, we held a morning meeting with the students with the headmistress and her assistance. It was very funny to see the lock in the students face as if they have done something wrong, a visit to the headmistress office means that they are in troubles. However, when they saw the package, they understood and their faces were light up. We received a teddy bear and her name is Sam a short for (Samantha) along with a bulldog which is the mascot of the school football team. We also got a Christmas ornament and lots of nice letters After the meeting and opening the box, we will read the letters in the iearn class and they students will take Samantha home and enjoy the time with the teddy bear

students presentations

Today we had presentations about what Pinky has been doing this week

one of my students her name is Asma told them how pinky enjoyed talking to the ducks, goats and the other animals, and she says that pinky told the animals that she loves them

well, this is just the beginning and pinky will have more fun with the students the coming next weeks
