Alex is having a great year in 5th grade and enjoying one last time through all things elementary. Last week, his class had their overnight trip with one other class to Pasir Mukti, a meeting place and working rice farm in nearby West Java. It was a great chance for the kids to get to know one another better and have some fun outside of the classroom.
They also met up with the local school there for a friendly game of soccer.
The highlight (for most of the kids) was some time in the mud pit. Not pictured: Alex, who had decided he did NOT want to get all filthy.
Mud or no mud, it was still a fun night away sleeping with cabins with four other kids. I love that the school has opportunities like this for the kids to try something new and become more independent.
My friend Hope and I are the room parents this year and we were invited to come meet the kids and read to the class. Probably my last time to ever read to one of my kids' classes...sniff, sniff...
Not class related, but I love this picture of the kids and their friends at the mall. Not much in the way of outdoor green space here, so when you want to see friends, it's usually at the mall.
Ahh, a lovely day in the Big Durian. It's the driest time of the year and the pollution is pretty gross. I'm really looking forward to the rain returning so we can see some clear skies again after everything is washed clean.
