The countdown begins...

Less than a month (19 days!) before I leave for France on the 23rd of September. I'm super pumped about going, especially as I now have housing, provided by my school, and a schedule for the first week of orientation and training. Now I just have to wait for my visa to arrive so that I can legally work and live in France.

I will be teaching English at an elementary school in Nogent le Rotrou, which is about an hour west of Paris (I think). Any suggestions on teaching, fun English songs/games/activities or things to do while in France will be much appreciated. Also, I love to write post cards, so if I have your address you just might get one!

  1. Bravo to you Lauren! I am so excited for you ~ those are lucky children who will be in your care. I really appreciate all the volunteers hours you dedicated to my students~ we all loved seeing you every week. I will try and keep up with your blog and have my students read it too. Feel free to post on our blog: www.smseuroex.blogspot.com
    Not sure if I told you that a documentary was made on our Belgian trip by UNC Tv and it aired last May and August. You can see the segments on www.unctv.org/ncnow/features/april_09_02
    Bon Voyage!!
