We have been very busy this week. On Monday we made our passports and boarding passes. We went through TSA security and boarded out flight to India. We had a nice flight, hit a little turbulance, enjoyed some good books and snacks while on our flight. We arrived in India just in time for Adamantis's mother Prarthana to come visit with us. We were so fortunate to have her read several books and answer questions. She shared with us some yummy snacks from India. We had Parleg and Atta biscuits, potatoes snacks like French fries with mint and Mamak Paras. They were yummy and well enjoyed.
As we continue to study and learn about India we were very lucky to have Radhika, Sandhya's mom come in on Thursday and talk to us some more about India and answer our questions. We have learned so much already. Ask your children about the list of "what we know" and "what we want to know". We will continue with this format in all of our countries. Thank you Radhika for the delicious Pakora ( vegetable) snack and the Samoasos (Potato) treats youmade for us! As well as the children's names in Hindi for them to trace . 
We have been enjoying the beautiful weather while it lasts. The children have been beginning to form friendships and include one another. This is something we will continue to instill in them.
We read lots of books this week some about India and others about friendship and sharing. We read Llama llama and the bully goat ,llama llama time to share, I is for India, food and festivals. And the children of India. 
Some of our yoga poses 
This Wednesday we used a colorful abacus to learn how to count to ten in Mandarin. Since the abacus has blue, yellow and red beads, we reviewed those colors as well. We also learned how to say the color of green in Mandarin, the pronunciation for green is "Lǜsè".Have a great weekend ! See you Monday Susan and Sara
