My visit to the USA

I had a great time when I visited the USA and I especially enjoyed my time at Winsdor Elementary School. It was wonderful to meet Mrs Komarek, the LMC teacher at Windsor - we have communicating for a while over the web so it was good to be able to meet in personThe day I came to visit Windsor I was up very early to catch the train from downtown Chicago. Mrs Komarek met me at the station at Arlington Heights and drove me to school where I ate breakfast with my daughter Claire and Brandon, Mrs Komarek's son. I reallyenjoyed meeting the teachers and students during my time at Windsor. It was fun being welcomed by Mr Kaye, the Windsor Principal, and having this shown to all the classrooms on the internal video system. I loved receiving my gifts from Mr Kaye and I have shown the students at my school what I was given. I hope you are able to read or look at some of the books I gave when I visited.

My visit to the Year 2 and 3 Assembly was a lot of fun and I thought all the students were very well behaved. They sat very well whilst they watched the DVD I had brought from our Year 2 students in Australia. There were many questions about Australia and my school and we could have stayed there for hours, but I knew that the teachers and students were so keen to get back to class and finish their work. Thank you to everyone at Windsor Elementary School for making my visit so fanbtastic - I would love to come and visit again!! In fact when my wife arrived a few days later,we did comeand visit again and I even read a book to a class in the Library.

My school has been back for two weeks after a three-week vacation and all the students are working hard as we have only seven weeks left of our school year.

Have a wonderful rest of this year Windsor!
