Let's Introduce Ourselves!

Hi,
Ms. Ciupe and I are both very excited about having our students work together again this year! Our goal is to connect our students with each other, learn about each other's schools and cultures, study some really interesting and complicated history together, and end up with an awesome project!

But before all that, let's introduce ourselves. Let's start by telling our name, age, and year in school. Feel free to add a picture! :)  I'll go first...

My name is Amy McDonald. You don't need to know my age. ha! I teach US History and Holocaust Studies at Shades Valley High School in Birmingham, Alabama.

Welcome Back to School!

Hi!
I hope all of you had a wonderful summer and are ready for a great school year! I'm excited about hearing from all of you and introducing you to my students!

Something Fun! :)

Hi,
Since many of you asked about lockers, I finally remembered to send you pictures. :)

A Very Special Message to Petru Rares High School!

A few days after I returned from Targu Lapus, I visited with Max and gave him your cards, gifts, and well wishes. I also showed him many pictures and the video from the Holocaust memorial ceremony. This video clip shows highlights of my visit with him.

Missing You!

Hello to all of my friends at Petru Rares! I miss all of you SO much!! I got back home late Saturday night, so I am back at school getting ready for exams. I will never be able to thank all of you enough for the kindness you showed me while I was there. I will always remember our special time together. I also want you to know that I will be visiting with Max tomorrow (Thursday) after school. I told him that I had some gifts and messages from you and he is so excited! I will send you a video clip, so stay tuned! If you have any messages or thoughts, PLEASE leave a comment. I'm looking forward to hearing back from you.

P.S. I will also be posting a picture of our lockers very soon. :)
