THINK

So I got back last Monday evening and have been running ever since.  We have the NHS / NJHS inductions this Friday and all the background work for that.  The IB Art Exhibit was this past Saturday as well as MUN at school.  I also hosted a wonderful couple who will be teachers at ISC next year this weekend.  Now that I have a moment to breath, I wanted to go back and write and reflect on my time in New York City.... I love going to visit there!

I had an awesome time in NYC both with family and friends and meeting my new colleagues for next year!  I even got to check out Om Yoga which I loved and have now decided to apply for the intensive teacher training class this summer.  I also ate at Daisy Mae's BBQ for some really awesome food.

During my time with THINK Global School, I got to meet everyone from the teaching team and the administration as well as the founder.  We got to know each other a bit and hear some amazing guest speakers. There is a lot of work to do before next school year begins, but it is an energizing and exciting kind of work.  I am so excited to be working with this dynamic group of people who I am sure are also amazing educators.  From some of the initial ideas, I could see where we can go with each other and the students.

I am so happy that we were able to meet now and get a sense of who we each are and put names to faces.  It will make it much easier to collaborate from afar while in the planning stages.  From photos to dinner to meetings and discussion it was all great!  I am so looking forward to this adventure.

  2. No I won't be in Curacao. I will be in 3 different places around the world: Stockholm, Sydney and Beijing! But I will be in and around NYC for much of the summer.
