Klara's Birthday and Literacy Event at Success Academy

Yesterday was Grandmother's birthday which we have celebrated today on November 14th, 2012. Happy Birthday, Grandma! Grandma made Korean soup (tyui) and brought fresh lettuce leaves (syumi) and Korean fish which we ate by wrapping rice and salads in lettuce leaves. It reminded me of my grandfather Konstantin who loved this dish. Aron was not feeling well but he was happy to drink with us his juice while we drank Sangria. After that we had cheesecake with berries and lit 6 candles (equals Grandmother's 61 :-) ). Klara and Aron blew the candles together.

 

 

After lunch I went to Allyson's Literacy Event at the Success Academy. Basically there were several stations in different classrooms where parents were told about programs and expectations of children's progress in writing and reading. I was able to see Allyson's class and Allyson among her friends. I was glad that Allyson had been happy and had fit the school culture. I noticed that Allyson was very hyper in the classroom. I'm not surprised that she has been having yellow and red lines. I hope that Allyson will be able to adjust and become more calm in classroom. I talked to Ms. Monte, the Assistant Teacher. She mentioned that school chooses best books for children. I said to her that I love Allyson's Just Right Book Baggie and feel happy when it gets refilled.
