Thursday was the 27th day of Ramadan (it lasts for 29 or 30 days depending on the moon). For the Moroccan people, all of wednesday night is spent praying. The people gather at the mosque and other places for this night of prayer. At school we celebrate Ramadan coming to an end by having a Moroccan dress day. Teachers and students are encouraged to wear traditional Moroccan attire. Sarah and I went to a market-like place called the habus to get our own jelabas! It was so fun to see the kids dressed up!
Unfortunately I got sick after my first class on Thursday and had to go home. I tried going into school again today but ended up leaving again due to intense stomach pains. Thankfully my fever is starting to go away and my appetite is coming back...all good signs since Sarah and I had plans to travel this weekend!
A funny story though... As you know my 6th graders have been anything but easy. Apparently my substitute was a little late for their class yesterday. Ironically it was my trouble makers who were the first to come running to the principal saying, "Miss our teacher isn't here! Where is our teacher?" And her response was, "Well she's sick. You made her sick." They just stood there stunned...we'll have to see how long that lasts!
