blind experience...

Today I went on a field trip with my class and we experienced what it is like to be blind. It was one of the craziest experiences in my life...and I am shocked that 7 year olds managed to go through a pitch dark maze for 1 hour! I have to admit I was a bit scared at first and also feeling a bit clusterphobic when I realized we were entering a dark place and would never find my way out!...when I say dark I am talking D A R K!...I mean I could not see the child in front of me or anything for that matter!...really absolutely nothing!...there was not even a hint of light coming into the room. NOTHING!...we had a blind walking stick to feel our way and then we had to follow our guide...she was a real blind woman but for her it was completely normal. I talked to her a lot but I have to say that I have never had a conversation in the dark before with a person and could not see her...we went through a grocery store, walked over a hanging bridge, went in a bus, in a telephone booth, and in a restaurant where we could buy drinks!...but to figure out the right euro coins was interesting too!...the kids were pretty brave I have to say...I think I would have cried and screamed if I was a kid. They kept asking me if I was still with them and when they heard my voice, they were rest assured that they were safe!...pretty interesting and you really appreciate having sight when you get out of there!

Congratulations Hannah and Enoch!

my favorite wedding picture...

ok so not the best quality considering its a picture taken of a picture....but I just had a random idea to take a picture of this picture that is on our wall in our hallway leading to our bedroom...I just love it and the photographer couldn't have captured a better moment!...this was just after we walked back down the isle from being announced as HERR UND FRAU KLAUS!!!....

Ancient Greece Toga Party!

We had a blast today in school doing our 2nd grade toga party for Ancient Greece! That is the topic we are studying now and so what else should we do-but have a toga party! We listened to greek music, learned to dance, tried some greek food, made greek cities out of clay, and participated in some greek olympic games! It was a lot of fun!...but a bit exhausting to do it 2 times! Since I have two 2nd grade classes I have to do everything double!...so just thought u would enjoy the pictures...now u can see how many boys I have in my class!!! 23 boys and 7 girls total split between the classes! Crazy!...
