Non-Muslim kids had to study at

classes, so I let them set on the ground and gave them white
boards to draw plats parts, then label them.

They have a revision about estimating numbers. So they sat

on the floor and there were a box passes through them, and
they have to estimate how many coins are there in that box.

fighting, running, to set well and finish their food. Then took
them to outdoors to play in the play yard.

They studied to review the 7 emirates names one by one, and

who is the president for each emirate. I helped the teacher to
give kids more information how the story of Unity of the

for the national day celebration.
It was my break for that day , meet with colleagues

We celebrate all together and goodbye each other as it the
