It is finished! Part II

Ooohs and Aaahs filled the room as my three wonderful kindergarteners recited this poem. I had my doubts about the girls being able to memorize the poem in time for the play. But, they pulled it off much better than I had imagined. Because they are second year students, they were expected to do some storytelling. But, they're capable of more than kindergarteners in the states are able to do. They did wonderfully and were the highlight of the program.

Here are my students performing "Twas the Night Before Christmas."

All Kindergarteners (Shoemaker and the Elves)

Snow

Big fat puffs of snow fell from the sky this evening. It wasn't the first snow that's fallen since I've been here, but it definitely was the most snow I've seen in the past 3 months. The trees were frosted, people were out until morning having snowball fights, and others growled in frustration. And the best part about it was that I was able to catch it all on my new camera!

Here you are ladies and gentlemen, long awaited pictures from a long awaited camera.
