My #EduGlow for today. I teach at a remote Himalyan mountain school in Jammu Kashmir - mostly first generation English learners.
Marking English papers, and this here surprise from one of the quieter girls in my class. She has been ill and out of school for most of the year.
"Write an essay about yourself. Remember to use your 'voice'", I had instructed and boy, did she!

Haji Public School is already in the middle Himalayas at 7,500ft ASL. But the entire village is on a steep slope so no plain flats to play.
For picnics, we go a further 3,000ft up (~3 hour trek) to this beautiful high altitude meadow called Sraayan, where there is enough plain ground to horse-ride, play cricket and just run around freely.
Here's a slice of the journey.
Day picnic, and back in the evening.
Kids age 8 and up do this easily.
