I am so excited!

Bonjour!

Over the past few weeks my excitement has been growing for my trip to France! Not only do I get 4 weekends in a foreign country, but I also get every Wednesday off from student-teaching as well! :) We are planning on hanging around Strasbourg the first weekend, perhaps crossing into Germany a bit (you can literally walk into Germany!!) While here we will have to visit the Cathédrale Notre-Dame de Strasbourg, the famous tourist site of the city.

                       

Then the Dean of the College of Education and Human resources, Lynne Schrum, is coming to see us and taking us on a boat tour around the city! She is also buying us dinner and treating us to a wonderful evening to really get to see the city!

We will be staying at The Chateau! That’s right a beautiful castle!!! J

I will be student-teaching in a bilingual High school just a short bus ride away from where we are staying. I am so excited to see how the school system works and how the students interact (with the teacher, school, and other students!!!!) This is truly a dream because I am seriously considering teaching abroad one day and this will be my look inside to see if it is something I would really like to do!

We are also planning on spending a weekend in Germany (most likely Munich). Here we will have the opportunity to see Dachau which will be a true emotional journey for us.

Our last weekend will be spent in Paris!!!!!!! J Eiffel tower, Notre Dame, Louvre, Disney Land of Paris!!! J So many places to go and sites to see!!! J

I am so excited and blessed to be able to go on this trip! <3
