my little green escape
Rey got me these plants from the Iranian market. I'm trying to keep them alive on my balcony in spite of the boiling temperatures. :)
Any one know what kind of plants they are???

my creative student
I assigned my students to write a story that was set in Bahrain. Here is one of the best ones. I was laughing out loud as I read it.
What follow is the original text. Words in [ ] have been added by me. :)
MKM's Unit Tests
Final Edition
In Bahrain Mall once upon a time there was a kid and his friends. They want to cheat in the test, their names was Mohammed, Khalid, and Mohammed. they call themselves "MKM", first M for Mohammed, K for Khalid, and M for Mohammed. They wanted to cheat in english test that Miss Jena gave them, it's spelled "Je-e-ena". Khalid always wanted to take the -1 book from her, cause every time they do something she says -1! is that the way they treat children like us. [Students get points for behavior and participation in my class. When they misbehave, they lose points, hence the -1]
Mohammed and Khalid first went to steal the key from Miss Jena and then give it to Khalid to stay talking with her, and in night they came to steal the unit test papers from Miss Jena classroom. That was only a plan they didn't do it but they think it's easy to make a lie on Miss Jena.
So first they started, Khalid started jumping as Mohammed (1) was giving him a sign and he gave out a sound "hoo hoo hoo" like a monkey, in the class Omar said, "That is crazy." Then Miss Jena enters and usually says like a machine "-1 and go to Miss Ferial" [She is the section supervisor and if students misbehave, they get sent to her office :)] Khalid didn't stop until I took the key and gave it to him. I said to him, "Goodbye friend, " Miss Jena asks me if I want to leave. I refuse. [If students are really acting up, I ask them if they want to leave my classroom]
At night I went to Miss Jena's class. It was dark and looked scary because the teacher have a dead body under the table!!! I was scared but Mohammed came from behind me and said, "Let's do it man, let's rock and roll. I answered, "You like hip hop, don't you?" He ignored, Khalid came also, "I am suspended" that's what he said. We went to the table and near the cupboard we opened it. There was a skeleton. We screamed like girls. Then the teacher said surprise and said "Let's sing" We sang it's your brithday by 50 cent and we said we will not cheat again.
Where do they come up with this stuff???
