Also, class will include an examination preview so be sure to bring your English notebook. Please submit only your notebook to me before Monday’s exam!
We’ve made breakfast, exercise and getting plenty of rest a part of our routine conversations throughout the semester. Also, having a study plan with a flexible schedule is important. As exciting as the beginning of any race is to watch, the real fun is at the finish line. Let’s prepare and encourage each other to finish the semester strong!

We are at that time of the year where the students get a chance to compete against the EP6 Blue class by performing a student written anthem. Beware, kids get corny and have a lot of fun deciding on the lyrics. It is a great opportunity for them to work together in a single class period and meet the same-day deadline. The previous class period is spent discussing and researching what goes into an anthem. Enjoy the videos:)
Congratulations Sincere! We wish you the best this year as our grade 6 Varee Chiangmai School Student Council representative. Have fun and always do your best.

Throughout the school year you will need to have your spelling test entry ticket for every Friday! The ticket pages must include all 20 words, defined and with coloured drawings depicting the meanings of the words. At the end of the year we will bind all the pages together and make spelling dictionaries that you may use to enhance your vocabulary whenever needed.
The tradition of celebrating Wai Kru (Teaher Respect) has been a modernized event since 1941 which was influenced by the spread of Brahmanism from India. Each year the students take time to show respect to their teachers by giving flower arrangements, singing traditional Thai songs and dance performances, all of which have special meaning. I am grateful to teach children in Thailand and experiences like Wai Kru are quite humbling regardless of the amount of years that have accumulated living here. I tell the students from time to time that learning their subject material is only part of their learning cycle. This celebration is more than just being a subject teacher, but a reminder that these children depend on the guidance of adults who spend time with them each day and in most cases for many years. Thank you!
