We arrived on 22-nd of April to USA for our Big Experience with Glynis and Alan.
We had a heavy rain , but we were really excited to meet our partner teachers.
In the 1-st evening we had a great American experience, had dinner in the Silver Diner, had a typical American food.
On Sunday we went for the sightseeing, visited the Lincoln Memorial,Washington memorial, the beautiful parks, and walked a lot.
The lunch was opposite a Chagall painting!!Unbelievable!
The dinner at Glynis’ house was perfect with the foods, drinks, warm hospitality.
24-th April-our 1-st day at school!
It was a Holocaust Memorial Day. In the big hall we had been invited to the students’ presentation on the Resistance during the Holocaust. I was proud that they mentioned Szenes Hanna and Elli Wiesel’s names, also. Rebecca Tettelbaum’s cookery book was interesting for me, because in Hungary we have a same story. Endrei Hedvig, who was a Holocaust survivor also collected recipes during the Holocaust.
The tour at school was interesting and useful: Dear Ben, thank you for the exhibition, we were suprised and happy.
After that I had observing in Natalie’s lessons. I was impressed how many interesting sources they used in the lessons.They discussed the historical events together.
The Sunflower bakery was a great surprise for me. These children make a great effort to become pastry cooks. We could taste different cakes with a big mug of coffee.
