It has been a busy day but a sad day, too. One of my Kindergarten students is leaving to go back to India. Rashmi is the girl on the very right. She should be returning to the U.S. in August, but I won't be here! I found out this morning, so I had to quickly come up with a way to make her feel celebrated. We all went around the table and told her why we enjoyed having her in class, and then took this picture together. It was precious. I am going to miss her! She has been a sweet, calming presence in our class. She is also very animated and likes to tell stories. Her English has improved beyond measure this year. It won't be the same without her for the next two weeks!
