Spring Break--Singapore


So, in December I found out that I got a new job next year. Next year, I (Laura) will be the PYP Coordinator (Primary Years Programme for the International Baccalareate) and ICT teacher at TCIS. This job will be completely different from what I have been doing since I arrived at TCIS. I will not have my own class, but rather will work with all teachers, students, administrators, parents, and collaborate with other schools. I am excited about this opportunity, but it will also be a challenge.




While in Singapore we got to go to Disney on Ice.
It was just Kirk Hawkins and myself with all four kids.
Fortunately it went pretty well.

So, one of my first assignments was to go to Singapore and attend the Regional workshop for the International Baccalaureate. The timing of this workshop was that it happened to fall on the tail end of Spring Break. Just prior to my departure Darren found out that he had a workshop in Singapore the first half of spring break. So, in a fairly late decision we decided to all travel to SIngapore and spend the break there.

Here is a picture of Sara as we took a "taxi ride"
on the river one evening when we were down
at Clark Quay. What a beautiful place!

Darren spent the first days, Saturday-Wednesday at his Mac workshop, Apple Distinguished Educators. The girls and I hung out with my family who also decided to travel to Singapore. Then on Thursday my workshop started so Darren hung out with the girls the last few days.



One evening we had dinner down at the Clark Quay.
Once again we had a great dinner and beautiful scenery!
