End of week 1

Yesterday and today at IBNY went well, but is always exhausting! The children are very affectionate and always willing to give me items; today, for instance, I think they gave me their colds! We are doing lots of crafts and songs and they seem to love it. Today we made paper plate masks.

Yesterday after lunch, we had an Arabic script lesson. For instance القرد فى عين أمه غزال

means “to a mother’s eye a monkey looks like a deer.”  Then, we had a cooking lesson and learned to make chicken tajine and mint tea.

We are all packed and ready for our weekend trip. We’ll have our special Friday couscous lunch then leave at 2:00.
