Top of the Alps




This weekend I went to Wengen with a wonderful group of TASIS teachers. Wengen is in northern Switzerland. We hiked for 8 hours and saw the the most amazing views ever. I am including a couple of pictures now and I will add more later in the week. I just wanted to give a quick update.

School is going well. The kids are in different groups for math and reading. I have both groups of 3rd grade for science. This week we have Curriculum Night. My students have written and sent letters to Cindy's class so we can have pen pals at Blake. 

Saturday I went with a group to a glacier in the Alps near a Swiss German town call Andermatt. It was amazing. We actually climbed with ice picks and crampons on our feet. It was a little scary and fantastic at the same time. Our guides were TASIS HS teachers. They knew exactly what they were doing. 

Sunday a large group participated in the StaLugano. A 10K that runs along the lake, through the city and back through the park.
