We would know this as 6th grade graduation.
Finals were finished on Friday the 12th, so Monday, March 14, became the day to congratulate the 6th graders and say good bye to everyone for the school year.
First, we had prayer and then the principal gave an opening speech. Then they sang a Thai song with the melody of “Blessed Be the Tie That Binds”. I’m not sure what it was in Thai. Kru Parn led it, slowly, while Pa Chiloom played the guitar. They sang 4 or 5 verses.
After that, there was some waiting around while the groups of girls got ready to do their hip hop dances to Christian music.
Some students said good byes to Paul, Ann, and Peter,
and Paul said good bye to us. Paul was the only one willing to go up front to receive the goodbyes or to give ones. He had his written out, and read it.
They will go to a school closer to their home next year.
At the end, the school gave certificates in nice
purple folders to the 6th graders and everyone else gave them flowers, balloons, and other things. Annie, one 6th grader, had asked me to give them a cookie, so I gave them each a coconut macaroon wrapped in blue and red cellophane (makes purple?) and a purple pen or pencil. Can you tell the school color is purple?
The last unit I had with the 6th grade was about insects. One day they made “insect goggles” with sequins and egg carton pieces. The goggles were supposed to make their eyes look like the many eyes insects have. What do you think?
