What's Cottrell up to? Life in South America. Saturday, September 14, 2013. A Day at the Races. Fridays at my school are extra special because we get to leave early - 2:10pm instead of the normal 4:00pm. Awesome.unless there is an electric storm. My school is very safety conscious. We have a group of teachers that make up La Brigada. We have a device that measures the presence of electric storms and their distance from the school. At a certain distance (not sure what that is.maybe 15 km? About 5 teachers...

What's Cottrell up to? Life in South America. Friday, December 7, 2012. Christmas has arrived to Colombia. Today was the official start of Christmas in Colombia and it definitely felt that way. And encouraging the students to initiate conversations. My fifth graders were very nervous in the beginning but by the end of our time there had made some friends and were telling me all about the amazing people met and the stories they heard. So special! I made the bow for the door. :-). Location: Bogotá, Colombia.

What's Cottrell up to? Life in South America. Wednesday, March 27, 2013. Time is flying. It seems like New Year’s Eve was yesterday and here we are nearly in April. Is this a sign that I’m getting older? These past few months have been packed with work, friends, time with the new beau (who I suppose is not all that new anymore), and time for me. I committed this year to focusing more on my inner peace and I can now say that I’m making some headway. 3 The Four Agreements:. And said that the book really sp...

What's Cottrell up to? Life in South America. Tuesday, April 23, 2013. These past few days I've been struggling with some sort of stomach bug. But despite the discomfort, I ignored doctor's orders and left my apartment, loaded-up on antibiotics and probiotics (that's confusing) to meet up with a dear friend from grad school, Caterina. Every visit and every conversation gives me a new boost of inspiration. Thanks for a great (no matter how short) visit Cate! Looking forward to more meet-ups in the future.

What's Cottrell up to? Life in South America. Thursday, April 17, 2014. So, I've never really considered myself a writer, and probably never will. I realize that saying that while writing this blog post may seem counterintuitive, but I assure you that these posts are simply to give family and friends updates and to keep a record of my musings for my future self. I present my first ever published article and it's in Spanish - a definite ego boost. Enjoy and let me know what you think - good, bad and ugly.

What's Cottrell up to? Life in South America. Saturday, February 16, 2013. Retreat to Reflect and Revisit What Matters. This week I left the city with my fifth graders for a retreat. Each grade at my school, escapes the hustle and bustle of school and city life for two days to discuss, reflect, and set schools around the type of people and course they want to be. Let me remind you, these are fifth. In addition, to lots of discussions there were teamwork games and we ended the retreat with a viewing of Ka...
