Henry's class

I was just in Henry's class and realized that he is the only American in there.  They were talking about democracy and elections and he had to represent the American presidential election.  There are Brits, Egyptians, Emiratis, New Zealanders, Sudanese. 

Henry, though, is not finding Arabic easy at all.  Apparently, he spent a long time in the toilet during the last Arabic lesson.  I can imagine it is not easy.  There may be a teaching difference too.  He is going to have to at least be present in the classroom.  I hope it gives him sympathy for the kids of other nationalities who are speaking English to him. 

He is playing football/soccer in the after-school club in the back of the school where there is a grass field, in the strong sun.  Grace is still doing knitting inside in the A/C.
