My School Is Nice Part 3

Nice doesn't begin to describe the set of ipads that my kids have access to:

Seriously.

My School Is Nice Part 2

With the wide variety of student nationalities at ISA, we are pretty much celebrating a holiday every week. I think it's nice that the Brazilian families in my class celebrated Teacher's Day, and gave me this lovely bath set!

My School Is Nice, I'm Going to Nice!

Aren't I just so clever with my play on words? That's right people, my school is sending me to a conference on international education. No big deal, except that it's in FRANCE!!! I know, I know, my life has really gone downhill since moving abroad. So while I'm in FRANCE!!! the next few days, I've prepared a few posts about other "nice" things in my school for my 2-3 blog readers to enjoy. Au revoir, y'all!

In Honor of Harry Potter

I love British/American translations for famous book titles :) 

I am one excited muggle, and can't wait to see part one of the The Deathly Hallows tonight (with Dutch subtitles)!

Things That Scare Me Besides Mice

 

When the weather says 2 degrees. It's not really MY 2 degrees, but still!

Don't Worry, It's Not a Real Mouse

It's good to have friends who are sympathetic to my fear of mice.

Sinterklass Is Coming To Town!

He comes on a boat, all the way from Spain. He arrives at the port near Central Station, and parades his way through the canals and streets of Amsterdam. He celebrates his birthday on December 5th. Good children will be rewarded with presents and treats on this day. Bad kids will be taken back to Spain in his empty sack. Nightmares, anyone?! He brings with him his kooky sidekicks "Zwarte Piets", dressed like jesters with black faces. Hmmmmm....

Fingers crossed that I don't end up in a sack on my way to Spain!
