I am amazed at how fast this school year has flown... Just a year ago this month, we were in Lincoln, Nebraska, to meet our IREX partner teachers from around the world. The teachers from Latvia, and my partner, Inga, and I hit it off from the start and we began to plan our exchange. These are the photos from our first meeting!
And here we are, a year later and only 14 days till I arrive in Riga to spend two weeks sharing and teaching with Inga, her students and other Latvian teachers. I am excited to know the adventure begins very soon, but I also realize that I need to seriously consider what to pack!
I look forward to you accompanying me as I travel. I will post photos and video and commentary, and I invite you to check in to share my Latvian experiences.

You may wish to learn a bit of Latvian with me. Take a listen to the Latvian teachers as they greet us in their language: https://www.facebook.com/video/video.php?v=1382042023633
Sveiki! (I also hope to pick up more Latvian before I depart!)
