Birthday Party!

Rosa turned 9 years old today. She started celebrating early by having a birthday party with her friends last weekend. She wanted to have a roller skating party at a roller rink. Prior to putting on the skates, neither she, nor the rest of her friends knew how to skate. But after a few falls, they learned how and had a great afternoon.

These pictures are from the party. The bottom picture is Rosa with her sister Megan.

Rosa continues to progress well in school. Her teacher told us that she is now reading at a second grade level. This is pretty good when you consider that she had not even seen the English alphabet until a few months ago. We have been working with her everyday on math. She is now adding and subtracting multi-column problems. Her third grade classmates are doing multiplication, so we still have a lot of catching up to do. We will be working on multiplication during the summer months.


Rosa is learning to like new foods. She now likes tacos. She loves Arby's roast beef sandwiches so much that she has requested that we go there tonight for her birthday.

Each of the children in Rosa's class make a poster about themselves and it is displayed during the week of the child's birthday. Rosa brought her poster to class today. It had plenty of family pictures along with a map of Kazakhstan with an arrow pointing to Uralsk, and another map of the world with Kazakhstan highlighted.


Rosa will be making her first trip to Disneyland this month. She was very excited to hear that the Disney characters are in the park and you could get your picture taken with them. She is hoping to see Ariel, Cinderella, Jasmine, etc.
