Things are coming to a close soon at ISB. The kids last day is less than a month away (June 6th). On Wednesday, I went to Nalin's class where the class presented a little movie that they made and presented their portfolio's to us. To those not in the know, a portfolio is a collection of their work.
Nalin's portfolio really brought into focus how much she has improved in her writing. When I looked at the writing she did in Arpil as compared to August, its amazing how much she has improved. In terms of spelling, writing, and pennmanship, she has surpassed her brother. In regards to pennmanship, her hand writing is neater than mine. Not necessarily a tall feat, but true nonetheless.
Today I visited Jacob's class. They are studying Africa, and did a presentation to the parents. They wrapped themselves in cloth to mimic some traditional African and presented a story. Jacob played a drum, and was one of the three kids with a speaking part. He did a great job. I'm including some pictures of it.
Aleena's school year ends on June 4th. She is attending ISB next year, and is very excited to go to the big girl school with her siblings. Of course the bad thing is that her best friend McKayla is a few months too young to attend ISB.
We had a bit of a scare regarding her attending ISB. Tim had applied a few months ago, and received and email confirming her place. I got an email asking if she was interested in going because they hadn't heard from us and only had one spot left. After I reapplied, and a number of exchanged emails, it turns out that they were mistaken and her spot was already secured.
