Girls' Day Out

Grace had the day off school today due to Parent/Teacher conferences. She and I took the rickshaw to school around 9:30 a.m. to meet with her teacher. Grace's teacher, Ms. D'Cunha had wonderful things to say about Grace. She has immersed herself quickly and fully into the class and is doing very well academically and socially. Here is a picture of Grace and Ms. D'Cunha in her classroom and a few pictures of the school.

After the conference, we went to Sukrupa. Grace helped me teach science to 2nd and 3rd Standard students. We did a couple of experiments with air, including watching air bubbles escape from a bottle being filled with water and expanding a balloon by attaching it to an empty bottle and placing the bottle in a bucket of hot water.



For lunch, we went to our favorite restaurant, Swathi Gardenia. We had Chana Masala, Chicken Biriyani and Nan. Of course the day would not have been complete without a little shopping, so we stopped at a large shoe store and bought sandals. We ended up walking all the way home (~2 miles) and made it back just minutes before the boys returned from school.

Hi Amy and Grace,

Very inpressive Grace, good job at school, and I love your beautiful clothes in the picture with your teacher.
Amy, you need to bring home your teaching materials for Science. They sound far more interesting and educational than the science my kids are getting here.
Thanks for sharing your day gals. Love,
Ellie
