last day

the second week we began walking in halls in two lines and in pairs, holding hands.

they immediately become more respectfully of each other.

one day we turned around and walked backwards with hands on shoulders of person in front.

it was trust building. on the last day, some tried going solo.

the room is empty except for a few treats leftover from earlier.

Mr I, who is a wonderful teacher, is telling them whoever behaves

best today gets to choose first for the treats - their spellbound

we listened to beatles and caymen islands steel drum music,

they drew and colored a few more pictures and danced around,

then i gave a speech about what great students they are and

for them to work hard and listen to their teachers next year.
