Hi everyone!
The trip has been absolutely fantastic so far. We have seen so much in one week that I couldn't have imagined. People have been really friendly and they have taken such good care on us. Today I had my first visit to elementary school (Evergreen) in Ashville. It is nice to see that children are the same here and back home. My lovely pupils are having their new email-friends very soon as American 5th graders have already got Finish addresses. So e-mails might be already on the way... My visit to Mars Hill Collage Education department was very interesting and we agreed to try some co-operation next fall.Teacher students would like to observe Finish lessons by skype. So my colleagues in Urpola school-be prepared :)
I want to thank everyone and especially my lovely host so far! Greeting to my family and colleagues in Finland! - Sari -
