I would like to introduce, from left to right, Dr. Kurt Nordness (DAIS Head of School), a happy me, Joe Rosevear (DAIS Head of Secondary School), and Michelle Fredrickson (my new second grade teaching partner!!) We all went out on the town for a dinner celebration last night. As you can see from the smiles we had a great time! : ) I feel so blessed to have met Michelle and started this journey with her. She's been teaching third grade in Sacramento for the past 6 years and was living in San Diego before that. This is also her first overseas teaching experience, so we're going to be newbies together. We're going to make a great team. : ) I'm just about to head out to meet Michelle and we're attending the Candidate/Recruiter Social this evening.
It's been snowing/raining most of the day and it's just now starting to stick. Boston is covered in a beautiful blanket of snow. I love it. Took a long walk in the snow today and met up with my Aunt Deb's friend Lucy who is a nurse as Massachusetts General Hospital and we had a lovely lunch and chat in the cafeteria. What a massive bustling hospital Mass General is! Very impressive, Lucy, and thanks for lunch! : )
I'm off to the social . . .
. . . WOW! I continue to meet the most dynamic, friendly, open people here at this conference. The international teaching community is like a huge extended family. All I had to do was walk across the room at the Candidate/Recruiter Social and I instantly had more connections from around the world. I have so many stories to share with you all!
