Home Sweet Home!

     Your children are some of the nicest and most well-behaved students I have ever had the pleasure of knowing. From dealing with all the walking tours (which were amazing!) to travel glitches (why didn't Google maps like Austria??) and to figuring things out as we went sometimes (4.00, 14.00, or 16.00?), your students kept their cool and kept it together. Their continued kindness and joy in learning made each mishap and adventure and future story to tell.      Under this update, you'll find a link to the Graz album which has pictures from several different students in it. This is where we sourced the albums pictures from. I do have some more to add as well. If your student would like to add them please let me know and I gladly will.     My phone is still in Austria so the pictures I took the of the Goodbye program I cannot yet import. I'm working on that now. Hopefully, I'll feel better soon too!     Many thanks again for your childre...

New, new, new

  The students have had many new experiences! Monday afternoon we went up to the Uhrturm with the Schloßbergbahn. This is a train that takes you up the mountain so that you can explore the beautiful area. There beautiful views, flowers and bees, and new friends made.  This is how we came down. We walked all of these stairs. I'm not sure who had the best time doing all the walking, but many smiles were had. The children enjoyed the exploring, but we weren't done yet! After our wonderful tour, we walked through the city. As we walked, the students decided that one of them is a pirate! The birds all belong to the pirate and are his friends. Lol! Then we arrived at our destination!  Apple strudel with vanilla sauce! It was very tasty, and unfortunately I didn't get any pictures of the strudel! However, as students awaited their host families, I managed to snap this picture of the children playing cards.  The next day was a day to work on our goodbye program. This program...

Mur Cleanup and COSA

Image
  Your children are the best! The enthusiasm for cleaning up along the river was amazing! Not only are they smiling here, but you'll see the smiles at the end.  Acy finds all the nooks and crannies and makes sure the walking path is sauber. Oops! I mean clean.  Here Josie and Makayla find the underside of a bench that needed a thorough cleaning.  Who doesn't love to see Kaylee smile??? Sweet Josie and The Face.  😆 Elena took a moment to pose for the camera.  Catching Charles unaware is tough, but it was managed.  Here Giles and Acy attempt to blend into the surroundings so that everything is clean.  Who couldn't adore this group? They even managed to pick up an Austrian student who helped along the way. Be the good. Do the good.  COSA??? What could this be? It's the MOST hands-on science place I've ever been to! The students actually purposely stayed over an hour past time just to experience more.  Here students went head to head...lite...
