I was invited to the President's School in the city of Kokshetau (just about 20 minutes away from my village) to be the Spell Master of the 4th grade spelling bee! It was so much fun, and the kids were so cute! While I was writing out and signing certificates after the spelling bee, they recited tongue twisters and did fun little skipping and jump roping skits. Super cute! Here are a couple of pictures with all the participants, and the top 3 winners. Oh, and the winning word was: animation. Way to go!
And just for your information... the President's School is a private school, brand new this year. They start teaching English in 1st grade, so the students are quite advanced. The English teachers were very excited to meet me and show me around the school. They had flat screen TV's all over, and every classroom had an interactive whiteboard, and most classrooms had computers at each desk. Wow! Very impressive school.

Cute kids! Cute Spell Master!
I'm wondering what kind of spells you can cast from a distance? Just wondering if you could help me out with a few things while you're still abroad... or a broad... depending on whether one of your spells makes you change sex.
