CC2 Cohort

 What an incredible group - and such a validating and inspiring four days of learning in Days 5-8 of Cognitive Coaching. So grateful for all of the investment, energy, inspiration, and dedication from some incredible individuals.

 

Metro Riding

 Heading downtown together, getting to be with Micah, Aditi and enjoying a Friday evening in DC are great ways to spend the Thanksgiving holiday. 

 

 

Rania and Aditi!

 How wonderful that Aditi could make her way to Silver Spring for a bit from her Thanksgiving break in Richmond at UVA.  Fun to see the two of them together again. 

 

Book Club Reunion

 Ochan was so gracious as to have members of our on-line book club over.  With Nathan and Carolyn in town for Cognitive Coaching Part II, we've enjoyed a fabulous cohort for the first two days - and a great chance on a Friday evening to connect and enjoy time together. 

 

Silver Spring Arrival

 So exciting to hear that Rania made it to Silver Spring - and is getting to enjoy Thanksgiving with Mark, Marta, Grandma, and a few friends. What a wonderful holiday celebration!

 

Impressive!

 Wow!  What a Christmas tree - and a great chance to get some photos when all dressed up!

 

Scot & Carrie Visit Loyola

 

So fun for Uncle Scot & Aunt Carrie to get to see Rania and the Loyola Campus.  It was SO wonderful of them to go all the way to (and from) Chicago in one day in order collect all of Rania's things that are not going to KL (and then to Madrid).  So fun!

She took them up to the Palm Court for some nice views - as well as through the library area. 

 

Evening Out

 Rania and her friends enjoyed an evening in downtown Chicago.  

 

Kappa Kappa Gamma Events

 Rania sure has enjoyed being a part of her Kappa Kappa Gamma sorority. As the group gets ready for the next induction, Rania has been very involved in supporting the chapter. 

 

Legends Without Borders

 A huge credit to our fabulous middle school performing arts team for pulling off Legends Without Borders, a story of three fairy tales.  It was certainly a delightful evening. 

 

First Snow

 Pretty fun to get the first snow - or at least the first real snow in Chicago.  Thanks to Rania for sending the picture. 

 

Off to GAP

 Tracy is off to GAP.  She'll be leading a surf trip in Bali.  Thankfully, the instructors do all the surf lessons, so Tracy will just be enjoying the beach - with perhaps some time trying surfing on her own. 

 

Movies!

 Fun for Rania and her friends to head to the movies and enjoy an evening time together. 

 

Beautiful Chicago

 A picture from Rania on a clear November morning. 

 

IPYO

 What a thrill to have the MSYO and the IPYO performing at ISKL.  What an amazing experience to hear a youth orchestra perform Dvorak's New World Symphony. So so so impressive!

 

Post-Halloween?

 With the weekend in full swing, yet another opportunity to go out to another event for Rania, Molly and friends.
