My First Blog Post!

Two weeks from today I will be arriving in Manila, the capital of the Philippines.  This trip is part of the Teachers for Global Classrooms Fellowship program administered by the United States Department of State. Approximately eighty teachers were selected last June to participate in the year-long program, which includes an eight-week online course in global education, a Global Education Symposium in Washington, DC that took place in February,  and an international field experience. I start my trip by flying from Syracuse, NY to Detroit, Michigan, where I will join the other twelve teachers from around the United States who are going on this journey to the Philippines with me. From Detroit, we will fly to Tokyo, Japan, a thirteen hour flight.  After a two-hour layover in Tokyo, we will stay on the same plane for a 4 1/2 hour flight to Manila.  We will land in Manila at 8:00 pm on June 5th.  However, there are different time zones around the world.  What time do you think it will be in Auburn, NY when I arrive in Manila? The first student or classroom to comment with the correct answer gets a prize! (Hint: there are websites that can help you figure this out!

    ​About Me

    I am a school librarian at Genesee Elementary School in Auburn, NY where I try to inspire students to be lifelong learners, critical thinkers and adventurers! In June, I am traveling to the Philippines with a group of amazing teachers from around the country as part of a Teachers for Global Classrooms Fellowship. I hope you'll join me on my journey!
