Dressed in crisp, orange-checkered uniforms with their names prominently embroidered on the front, the kindergarten children arrive at our 5 sites every morning by 8am. At our home base, AMSAI is the kindergarten and primary school which has been in existence for the last several years. Dada Gopal has done a beautiful job transforming the school into a more beautiful space, and we have a vibrant new pedagogical director, Ralph. 2011 is looking up!
Mary Ange is one of our trainers for the kindergarten program. She used to be a teacher at the AMSAI school, but in the last 6 months she has been serving all of our kindergarten sites as a trainer to support the teachers by modeling lessons and conducting professional development trainings. She also just gave birth to a precious little baby in May!

| The children are active everyday with physical activities, but Fridays are special sports days for the kindergarten children. They play relay race games, practice yoga, and toss balls. |

| We had a wonderful week with the AMSAI children. Marg, Emily and Sherry have been coming from the US to support the school over the last several years. They facilitated beautiful lessons with each of the classes. |

| AMSAI is a warm, loving community school. I love seeing our team members' children in classes. It reminds me of Newtown Friends School and George School where everyone feels like one big family. Dharma and I love our new neighbor family. Kettlie and Jacque have 7 children and 3 of them go to AMSAI. Every day I look for Sharina (4), Misterline (6) or Jakline (7) in their classes just to catch a peek of their beautiful smiles. |
Children in 3rd grade painted their own illustrations to a book, and 5th graders created wheels about animals' life cycles.
