Thrown in the big end to teach PYP art last year yet Im a French teacher. Would love to learn with you:)
Anita;
Somehow as I was researching Art substitute Internationally I came across your blog. What energy you have. I retired in 2011 from teaching PYP art for 11 years in an international school in Germany. If you would like to communicate and exchange ideas or resources I would be happy to keep in touch with you. I live in Nova Scotia on the balmy south shore and am currently contemplating some travel opportunities.
Dear Sharon,
I’d love to meet you! I’ll be contacting you via email…
