After six months of grant writing and preparation, it's hard to believe that we leave for the airport in just 24 hours!
Tomorrow we are headed to Hong Kong (via Tokyo), where we will begin our adventure! We've packed our back packs full of light cotton clothing and I LOVE NYC pencils to give as gifts to our friends at the schools we visit. Our carry-ons contain dried fruit, nuts, no bottles of water, phrase books, picture dictionaries, and guidebooks so we can get excited on the plane!
As we say so-long to our friends and family, we feel very fortunate to have been given the opportunity by Fund for Teachers to explore math education in programs and schools from Hong Kong to Beijing!
For those of you who are concerned, Ellie does in fact have an exit row seat and Aneal has found a paperback copy of Wicked.
We plan on updating our blog frequently with pictures, anecdotes, and reflections. So please visit and comment often, so we can share this experience with you!
Safe travels, Ellie! I am sure you will have a wonderful adventure. Can't wait to read about it. xoxo
