Wintery Photo of Georgetown
I thought I would update the photo of our school on the front page of our blog. This will help our friends in P’ing Tung, Taiwan to visualize our snowy weather. If you peak at the weather in Taiwan right now (see upper right tab at the top of this page), you will see that our sister school lies in the Tropic of Cancer–which means it does not snow there!
Another reason for updating the picture is that the spring like picture was driving our trepid and fastidious custodian, Mr. Rob, CRAZY! He did not like the fact that I posted a photo in which the lawn was not mowed. Oh how we love Mr. Rob and the great pride he takes in keeping our building clean, tidy and just right for all of us. He is one of a kind. Thank you, Mr. Rob, for all you do!

Yes, its amazing in New Zealand we have our Christmas break but we are in the middle of Summer so we don’t have snow or any of those traditional Christmas themed things… our students are fascinated by snow but most have never seen snow at all… great blog by the way… really nice ‘feel’ to it.

Hello Georetown Elementary School,
That’s a great picture you have up there to show winter. Like what Mr Webb said right now it is Summer but it still rains and can get quite cold some days. Not many children have seen snow. I haven’t seen snow either. What would you prefer a Winter Christmas or a Summer one? Our children are on holiday but we would like to share our work with you when they return.
Happy Holidays

What a great Blog you have here; I have enjoyed taking a look round (and once we are back at school we will have a closer look altogether).
Why not check out ours, ‘A Window into 2i’s World’ (http://cdnpyp2il.blogspot.com/)? It is one of the many individual class Blogs at the International School of Geneva.
Thank you and all the best for 2009

Class 2i teacher
(by the way, Class 2 at our school is the same as an American Grade 1, so we will probably be most interested in what your Grade 1 classes are up to!)

Hi there! I am a teacher of year 5 and 6 (10 year olds) students from Te Awamutu which is in the north island of New Zealand. We are heading into a new school year and we are looking for some classes to connect with to share about where we come from and to learn about someone new and their environment. If there is any interest at your school please email me on kyliee@taps.school.nz
I look forward to hearing from you!!!

Thank you, Moya, for writing to us! We have lots of snow. I wish you could borrow some of it! I visited your blog and love the photo you have of Hansel and Gretel on the header of your class site.
