1/18 Pen Pal Project

I gave out the letters that Myler and her Girl Scout Troupe wrote in November today.  Each student read them aloud.  Next I will have them translate them into Hindi for comprehension.  Then they will start to write their own.  We had bitter gourd for dinner - very bitter indeed but with a large scoop of rice it is quite nice.  Shanku also made mashed potatoes which made me think of home.  Still really cold - up to eight layers of clothes just grateful that I brought them.  And besides, I'm getting a lot of reading done - read the Harry Potter series;) and it made me cry.  Next book is the God of  Small Things - this time a book set in India.
