My Day with Samke

Today was the day Samke came to Saint Mark's school, and I enjoyed having her around.  When she arrived in my classroom after her school tour, everyone greeted her and some people hugged her.  We had fun talking at recess with a group of girls from Saint Mark's.  She is quite fast at running and energetic. During our 5th-1st buddy activity, she was enthusiastic, and she spoke some English.  She practiced a lot.  When she used a red marker, she wrote the word "red."  When she used gray, she wrote "grey."  I learned that gray is spelled differently in South Africa.
