Yippee!! Great News!! Miss Avery has been accepted to participate in the Korea Society's 2007 Summer Fellowship in Korean Studies. The program is part of the Korea Society's mission to allow teachers firsthand experience of Korea in order to introduce Korean culture and history to their students. It also helps teachers collect relevany materials and educational resources to enable them to teach effectively about Korea.

Miss Avery was chosen from over 100 teachers nationwide to participate in this fully funded, 17 day experience in South Korea from June 18th to July 5th. She will participate in an "intensive worshop" consisting of lectures at Korea University in Seoul, an opportunity to teach English to a class of fifty Korean students as well as an extensive field trip experience throughout Korea. Miss Avery will be joined there by educators from New Zealand and Australia.

I'll let you know more about my journey to Korea as the summer approaches!
