Getting into the Spirit of "Things"

Yesterday was Halloween.  Even though some of our travelers had to work the Global Cafe, it didn't stop them from getting into the spirit of things (pun intended).  Thing 1 and Thing 2 had a lot of fun selling their delicious treats yesterday!  Good job, girls!

New to the Global Marketplace!

New products in the Global Connections Marketplace!  Cassidy is now traveling on the trip with her older sister Brittaney!  In order to help fund this sister trip the girls are selling Yankee Candles.  If you are interested in making a purchase please contact Cassidy or Brittaney.  If you don't see the girls please let me know and I will get them or a catalog to you.  Prices range from $6 and up.

Don't forget Tonisha, Brooke and Tyler are selling wreaths!  24 and 36 inch wreaths are $8 and $12 respectively. 

All make great gifts!!

Thank you for your support!!

So Far Behind

I wonder if people who blog run into the same issues I have....loss of words and no time.  I really enjoy blogging, especially on the trip, but there is so much going on with my life I haven’t been able to keep up with this part. 

There is so much going on with our new group of travelers.  We have created the Global Marketplace, a wall near my classroom, where kids going on the trip can post information on fundraising activities.  They also have a new display cabinet by Mrs. Mayer's room where they can display their merchandise.  It's on wheels, which means during games or other events the display case can be moved.  We've had students set up bake sales during parent-teacher conferences and the Christmas concerts.  I have a new class starting in January where students will be setting up an actual "craft sale style" business.  The details are still getting worked out, but if one of our travelers takes the class they will have time to set it up in class and during our craft sale days earn some more cash.

Once that class is up and running, I will probably have more things to blog about.  I will hopefully get something posted that lists everything currently being sold.  Happy New Year, everyone!

Want to travel to Europe next year?

If you said yes, then you might want to drag your parents to our upcoming meeting.  Please join us either on Monday, October 10 or Tuesday, October 11 at 6:30 p.m. in the high school library.  We hope one of these days will work in your busy schedules.  If not, please contact us for an alternative meeting, as we want everyone who is interested to get the chance to experience this amazing adventure.  We look forward to seeing you there...and now, I must go and finish the movie I am supposed to be making to show you how much fun we had and how much we learned!

Back to School 2011/2012

I have to keep my blog alive!  We are in the stages of planning the next trip, which will take place during the next school year....2012/2013.  We are such a small school that we need to space them out.  It also gives us time to raise the money needed to take the trip.  I am in the process of creating a "recruitment" video to show the next up-and-coming world travelers what they will see.  Eventually, once school gets going, we will have a parent/student meeting to sign up our next bunch.  I can't wait to see who they will be.  So, kiddos, if you're still checking this blog...stay tuned!  I'll let you know when the meeting is.

Back to Normal?

We are all back at school.  I'd like to say everything is back to normal, but it's not yet for me.  I'm still tired!  It's probably the lack of sun.  We went from 70 degrees and sun to 30 degrees and rain.  If the sun was out I think it would help us adjust.  Anyway, I discovered that no one at school could open the slideshow pictures.  That is know fixed.  If you want to view the pictures in a larger format, simply double click on one of the slideshows.  It should open my web album, where you will be able to move from day to day and from picture to picture.  Thanks for keeping track of us while we were away.  It was fun to come home and hear that so many of you followed us on our adventure.
