Taking advantage of my sabbatical, I was able to attend a special family gathering in Germany this November. Of course, this was also a time when schools are in sessions in Germany. I was able to start collaboration with teachers of my former Middle School in Neukloster and of my former High school in Wismar early in the summer. Both cities are in the North of Germany, near the Baltic Sea.
Before I presented to 3 times 170 German students in my own language, I practiced presenting to my family...They were wonderful correcting my expressions!!
The presentations at my former schools were a treat. Who would have thought that I could share in person my upcoming excursion to the South Pole back in Germany? This was very fitting as part of the International Polar Year.
I am looking forward communicating with many German teachers and students.
