August brought a wonderful visitor to Brazil, my mother! She spent two weeks with me visiting my projects and getting to know first-hand about my life in Brazil. It was a great time for us both! She was also here during my birthday, which was super special.
Lar Project
She read “If you give a Mouse a cookie” to one of my classes, visited with the younger kids classroom, and did one-on-one reading with some of my advanced students.
Vila Andrade Project
Mom did some math exercises with the students here, and conversation exercises with my advanced students.
Birthday Celebrations
This year again I had a little party for my students for my birthday, where they made crafts and had cupcakes. A fun time had by all!
Lar Project
The students in my younger class surprised me when I came into their room with singing happy birthday and giving me handmade cards and presents – it was really sweet!
