Good morning

It is school vacation here now for us in the US. We have a week off-the new return for about 6 weeks. Then we have a long summer vacation.  Many students return for 3 weeks of summer school. In our classes we communicate using our voices and we use American Sign Language. It is really a choice…  From you tube- I ‘ve seen that there are many deaf people living in Mongolia. They also use a different sign language since it is not universal.

Since I am home the week I can tell you what I see from my window here. I live near a forest so there are many trees. There are a few flowers beginning to bloom but it is still about 60 degrees here and windy so the temperature is probably in the 50’s now.   Sometimes in the forest I see a bear walking around. They really are just looking for food- like bird feeders or people cooking outside. The bears don’t hurt people, although I wouldn’t get very close to one! Bears hibernate and they are just coming out of their caves in the spring. We don’t see them very often, so it is very exciting when we do.

This is what I saw on my way to school- These are wild turkeys. I see them many times here in New England. What do you see from your window in Mongolia?

Do you have questions for us? Mongolia looks like a beautiful country!
