Rachel: Week 11

This week we held a birthday party for our IEP students and hoped to have a conversation about American birthdays and how they are different than in other places. This was also a good opportunity to end the year and we bought cupcakes to share with the students. We had a quite a few people show up to celebrate and it was a lot of fun. We had a few minor scheduling errors with getting everything together but everything ended up being alright and in the end it was a whole lot of fun. We got to eat and sing happy birthday and talk about celebrations in America as well as meet a lot of new people. I would really recommend this type of event in the future, having food made it not only an incentive for people to show up but also worked as a conversation starter for the event. I am really happy with our last event and the student that we threw the party for was so very appreciative of our efforts. (:
