From Russia, with Love: Holes
https://kareninstpete.blogspot.com/2015/08/holes.html
From Russia, with Love. I return for another year of teaching in St. Petersburg. So, it was only a pipe dream that the school year would not be quite as stressful as the previous two. I do know that in spite of the chaos, God does have a plan and a purpose. He will work out the details, and in fact, He already has, even though I don't know the answers.

From Russia, with Love. I return for another year of teaching in St. Petersburg. 4th grade readers theater/elementary spring concert. Before the spring concert last Friday, my class did a readers theatre of Robin Hood for their parents. They did a fantastic job and it was only after they were done that I wished I had recorded their performance. Even my first year English speakers were fantastic and understandable. Fourth and fifth grade before the concert. Second grade performing Chim-chim-cher-ree.

From Russia, with Love: back in Russia
https://kareninstpete.blogspot.com/2015/07/back-in-russia.html
From Russia, with Love. I return for another year of teaching in St. Petersburg. I've been back in Russia for just over a week now. My sleeping habits are still trying to straighten themselves out complicated by the fact that it is White Nights. This means that unless the skies are cloudy, we have no true dark. When the sun sets it's just extended twilight for several hours. So since my nights and days have been reversed, I have not done much this first week. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). All autho...

From Russia, with Love. I return for another year of teaching in St. Petersburg. On the Russian calendar, the first day of spring occurs on 1st March. On the Western calendar, it occurs today 20th March. But really, some years it's just a date on the calendar and we look for the signs of spring in other ways. So here are some signs of spring here in St Pete:. Fewer people wearing fur coats. A switch from fur hats to knit hats. Only the youngest children wear snow pants. The Neva River flowing with ice.

From Russia, with Love. I return for another year of teaching in St. Petersburg. 100th day, another goodbye. We celebrated the 100th day of school today. The kids could either wear 100 things or dress like they were 100. I had four of my kids do great imitations of "people of advanced age" (My class decided early on this year that there are no "old" people). An elementary head moment. A synopsis of the past two years. January 21, 2014 our board was meeting to discuss the details of liquidation and reorga...

From Russia, with Love. I return for another year of teaching in St. Petersburg. Right now I am staying with my friend Carol for a couple of days. We are relaxing at her house. Yesterday we walked along the Puyallup river in the shadow of Mount Rainier. The sun is shining and the mountain was beautiful. Woke up this morning to snow falling and several centimeters on the ground, a white Christmas. As I started thinking, my first white Christmas since my first year in Russia. Day before the last day. After...
