I can’t believe it has been so long since I have posted on my site. I was very busy but that is hardly an excuse. Anyway we are now living in Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia which if you want some great reading on that, visit my husband’s site: www.zieak.com

This is the first time I have taught 5th grade and I am finding it very different. Some funny things that have happend so far are the fact that half the class cheers whenever I announce a test or quiz. The half that cheer depend on whether or not it is a math or spelling test : )

An interesting thing that has happened was when the father of one of my student’s passed away, the mother brought the class treats. I was shocked because it seemed that we should be doing something for the family, but in Mongolian culture they do things for anyone close to the family. Another boy’s Uncle died and his mother also brought the class goodies.

I know there are more stories, but I have forgotten them. When I remember I will update this post.
