Thank You Dastech!

Thank You, Thank You, Thank You! We got your package at the beginning of May and we've been loving it!

For those of you who weren't involved in this massive care package, we recently got a big box of goodies from our friends in DASTECH (dow's agro group).

Above are a few pictures of us, the contents, us enjoying the contents, and Mandy's Art Club enjoying the art supplies.

in no particular order, here's some info about the pics:

1. Mandy basking in the goodness of American food. "the doritos may be gone, but the memory lives on"

2. Mandy glugging Charlie's Maple syrup and wearing her new tiger's sox

3. Me sniffing Mukund's dark chocolate goodness

4. Mandy enjoying some Chocolate pudding... Hmmm that was a nice idea

5. The rest of the pictures are from Mandy's Art Club today. She brought the supplies and explained them to the class, but wasn't sure what to do with the pipe cleaners. Then they did a practice activity on the board making a bunny in order to prepare for a larger World Map project, but when Mandy turned around they had proceeded to make the the bunny out of pipe cleaners! Then they just went crazy and started all sorts of things. They started off with words, went to pictures, and when she told them how to make 3D stuff they made a Bus and a House. We want to emphasize that we don't know a lot about art or teaching art, but if you have any ideas like that please let us know. The kids had a blast and it's great to see them finally get some creative outlet.

FYI - the package actually sat in the post office for 2 weeks because we were out of town, so in case your wondering, it got here in about a week! Oh, and completely intact!
