Merry Month of May

Flying Thai Airways is always a pleasure as the air hostesses are so friendly and so beautiful in their traditional Thai dresses. Since my school year was about to begin, I returned to Thailand from China where I had spent two wonderful months visiting my grandsons.
To my delight the apartment where I am living had added a soothing waterfall and the spirit houses were freshly decorated. The Thai people put spirit houses on their land so that their ancestors have a place to live. They also believe that when you build or change things you displace the spirits, so in addition to spirit houses by homes, many banks, and commercial buildings also have spirit houses on their properties. My apartment is on the corner in the photo.

 

BACK to SCHOOL
This year I am teaching K-1 and K-3 which would be pre-school and kindergarten in the USA. The kids are adorable, so sweet and funny.


They call me Teacher Lo-se, because they cannot pronounce Rose. The Thai alphabet does not have an "R" sound. For our first program of the year and we colored and glittered stars for headbands. The big performance was in front of the whole school and their parents.
For many of the Thai students it was the very first time that they had ever done anything like that.
The children all really loved singing "Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star" in English.

    May the memory of children's smiles bring joy to your day and the light from twinkling stars brighten your night.     Blessings from Thailand.
