Noel Abroad: February 2011
http://noelschroeder.blogspot.com/2011_02_01_archive.html
Monday, February 21, 2011. Family Trees, Sad Stories, and Valentines. My students finished up their unit on describing families with two projects: a family tree poster and an essay about either their happiest or saddest family memory. The trees came out so so so well! The essay assignment I stole from Colleen (thanks Oma! One girl wrote about how her saddest memory was her last birthday, when her parents spent the day arguing with each other and forgot all about her. One boy wrote about how he and his mo...

Noel Abroad: February 2012
http://noelschroeder.blogspot.com/2012_02_01_archive.html
Wednesday, February 8, 2012. BUT, thankfully, it only lasts a week, and it only occurs somewhere between one and five times per semester. AND it is a chance to read a book or knit while the students test. Thing I’ve done in the past two years. A few weeks ago I visited Mount Bromo. Everything else is normal and generally very good and unremarkable. A few new sets of photos up, all courtesy of Pak Lukman, our Japanese teacher: OSIS Elections. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Sunday, January 15, 2012. How do you solve a problem like Mbak Noel? With a quick 18-hour stop in. On the way) and had an amazing week spending time with them. Thank you Aunt Cathy and Uncle Lou, again, for letting us use those sweet digs. Being back on American soil was not as strange or jarring as I anticipated—on the contrary, the whole week was very chill and relaxed, and I was happy to come back to. Cip is justifiably super duper excited about a workshop he attended. The beauty of Batik Bojonegoroan.

Noel Abroad: December 2010
http://noelschroeder.blogspot.com/2010_12_01_archive.html
Tuesday, December 21, 2010. Merry Semester and Happy almost-Christmas! Last week was UAS [Ujian Akhir Semester, semester final exams] week. I spent the week proctoring exams, grading exams and reporting grades in different reports and forms and record books. For semester exams, students are divided 40 to a classroom with 20 from one grade and 20 from another, seated in alternating rows so two students from the same grade do not share a desk. Two teachers are assigned to each room to proctor. All Grade 10...

Noel Abroad: September 2010

Sunday, September 26, 2010. Peace Day, Halal bi Halal and Back to Team Teaching. Following the ceremony the students lined up according to class and the line of 911 students descended upon the teachers to shake hands or salim each teacher and ask for forgiveness. It was pretty neat, and I was happy see all of the students and be able to whisper to one of the teachers next to me “Now what was his name again? Do you need a nap? Do you need ice for your hand? Thursday was my first real day teaching again...

Wednesday, August 25, 2010. 100 Things I Love About Indonesia. I haven’t taught in two weeks, which is a stone-cold bummer, but I’ve sat in with some of the 12th grade national exam prep classes. But I did start teaching again today! We have two more weeks, then two weeks of vacation, then back to school as usual. I may even be able to begin teaching a weekly teachers’ English class after the vacation! Having “who can shout Good Morning the loudest? Having “who can shout Good Afternoon the loudest? Chatt...

Sunday, October 23, 2011. Hey so about those updates. Haha, remember when I apologized for the lack of updates and promised I’d write again in July? Funny joke, that. Here’s a rundown of (what I can recall) has happened since I last posted in June:. I traveled with Nisha, Sam and Travis to Central Kalimantan. Where we spent four glorious, relaxing days floating down the. And communing with orangutans in the Tanjung Putting Wildlife Reserve / National Park. Then we went up to North Sulawesi. Probably....
