Practicing their measuring skills, Bob’s class baked a cake this week. But wait! Bob did not do the demonstration on how to bake a cake. A Mom of one of the students came in and helped the kids do all the measuring to make a chocolate cake. They had a lot of fun. The cake was delicious!!
One of Sherry’s students invited her to an 8 year old birthday party at his home on Saturday. Their home was close to our apartment. There were lots of kids and adults. There was a clown to entertain everyone, lots of food, and games. There was lots of noise!!!

Tuesday, January 26, Yerevan received its first significant snow of the winter. The temperature dropped and it has been very cold. There was some freezing rain as well. As a result, the roads and sidewalks have been very icy. We have not seen a sand or salt truck on the roads, and no sand or salt on the sidewalks. By the week end most of the snow melted and the temperatures were in the 40’s again.
Teaching school is going well. Our district supervisor visited our school this week. We had met him and his family when we were in T’bilsi, Georgia. He was here to see that our school was doing well, and to see the new school construction. Construction was stopped during December, but has started again, and everyone is hopeful that we will be in a new school next fall.

First snow… last week of Jan!
