Tues. June 10, Jan Clayton, Erin Belnap and I went into the Old City to teach summer school at Spafford School. We've taught Mon. & Tues. for the 3 weeks of summer school. Our subjects have been: feelings, colors, antonyms, and healthy foods. It was a lot of fun and I enjoyed doing it with Erin Belnap and Jan, my side kicks at Silwan.

After teaching at Spafford, we went to Silwan Elementary where they had prepared a lovely surprise farewell luncheon for us. The principal gave us awards and thanked us for helping their school this year. It's been a lot of fun getting to know the faculty and the students. They have little to work with, but make the most of it. Silwan Elementary opened a new school this spring. The upper grades are in the new school and the younger grades are still in the old school.
The principal, Haseba, gave Blaine a certificate of appreciation.
The lunch was lovely. The faculty had all brought something. The big hit was a spinach cake with cream cheese frosting. Anything would taste good with cream cheese frosting, but this actually was yummy with a bright green color.
Our dear friends at school. Inas Ansari is on the right. She is our contact person there.
After lunch, we gave a short lesson to the fifth graders.
That evening we took Jason, Jillian, Lee and Joan to the look out at Seven Arches. They leave to go home tomorrow. We've had a great time with them.
