New Year, New Kids, New Student Teacher

Above you see 6 of my 10 fourth graders this year, and our student teacher, Elizabeth. The first day of school she taught a lesson about maps and did an activity with the kids about where they are from. It was really great! She'll be a great addition to our classroom this fall. The kids are so far great, too. I'm going to need them to be a little louder, though! I'm used to a bunch of boys, so this is quite a change. Hopefully the missing four will arrive soon, too. Selyn has the chicken pox, Rina came today, and Adanna and Maryam are not coming until some payment issues have been resolved. So, my class is ever growing. It's fun to only have a few kids, though. They're so much fun to be around.
Just some background, here's the info from left to right:
Lydia, from Austria
Glory, from India
Elizabeth, from Canada and Sweden
Sophie, from Egypt and Austria
Noah, from the USA
Kevin, from India
Elizabeth, (student teacher) from the USA but lived in Peru and Ecuador for 16 years, so yes, she's fluent in Spanish. Wow.
That's all from fourth grade for now!
