We start school at the 10 th of September.

Comment by Emese Molnar-Kovacs on August 8, 2012 at 1:13am: I'm from Romania, Europe. My students are children of 8-10 years old, usually. We speak our native tongue, the Hungarian language in the classroom, but we also have Romanian language classes 4 times a week (the official language of the country) and English classes 3 times a week. So we are wery much into active learning stuff.

Comment by Dan Klumper on July 17, 2011 at 7:48am: Hi. Welcome to Classroom 2.0 I am starting a new program at my school called "Beyond the Classroom" and I hope you will be a part of it. My Goal: connect my students in Brandon, South Dakota, USA to other students around the world to learn about school and life in other countries. I want to connect with five different places around the world and correspond via my blog to learn about culture and life in our respective places. I teach 6th grade (11-12 year olds) but the subject and age doesn’t matter. I have done this in the past with places like Turkey, Scotland, and Brazil. There are many things we can do with this to make it a very enriching experience. If you are willing to be a part of this, we will talk about the details at that point. My school year starts August 22, 2011. Visit my blog to learn a little bit about me and my teaching. http://waterforsixthgrade.blogspot.com

Thank you for your consideration.
