If this was not the most exciting, fun filled, and care free week...then I don't know what is! The children hand made calendars for their family for year 2014 for the new years, they practiced songs Ms. Mashburn taught them, and they accomplished their first holiday program on the stage in front of hundreds of people without a tear. This was a true GLOBE spirit we all shared and embraced. We do not have fancy technology, shiny bathrooms, or a grand entrance - what we do own is the pride, confidence, and the sense of family.
We ended the week with Polar Express, some yoga, and a birthday celebration for Noopur and Nandini. Ms. Salzillo read Pollar Express to the classes and even punched holes in their golden tickets! I am fortunate to work with such creative and positive friend like her.
Just to share a huge transformation my family chose in 2013, we became not only vegans, but animal rights activists. I also left my previous general ed. job as a first grade teacher to teach Mandarin at GLOBE. GLOBE has gone through many ups and downs in the short five months it has opened, but I am so lucky to have been there to witness and embrace it all. I love all of my students and their parents who have been loving, supportive, and overly generous. You have made my job and life more rewarding than ever. So, thank you!
More to come in 2014, can't wait to share what we have in store for the kiddos!!
Happy Holidays and Happy New Year!
