Today at the War Remnants Museum I broke down- so did many others. Hollywood movies & documentaries are nothing compared to this. The war crimes and atrocities committed during the Vietnam war are horrendous &Agent Orange still impacts people TODAY! #VietnamWar #hcmc

I created space for students to freely display any work they are proud of if they wish. It’s generated a lot of discussion from other students, and pride of what students are able to do. It’s definitely a keeper strategy for me. #grade7 #studentvoice #vietnam #hcmc

After seeing all the students practicing drawing in the style of Keith Haring, I am sooo looking forward to seeing their final products that promote anti-bullying & school character traits ❤️ #artmatters #antibullying #keithharing

Landmines remain a big problem in Cambodia. Thousands have been killed or injured. Today we visited @herorats and learned all about how trained rats can clear a tennis court sized area of landmines in 4 minutes. #landmines #cambodia #rats

We ❤️ dragons! These apex predators roam around freely along with deer, buffalo and wild boar in Komodo National Park, Indonesia. Our local guide carefully took photos (zoomed in) #komodo #dragons #indonesia #komodonationalpark

Ever tried #luwak coffee? We got a great tour at #Satria coffee plantation in Ubud, Bali. The coffee beans are digested & pooped out by these cute creatures, the beans are then processed & turned to high prized coffee. #Bali #coffee #Indonesia

Time using 9’s ❤️ I finally put this up in my classroom tonight! After doing 4 fours & 5 fives activities at the beginning of the year, I can’t wait to see what happens when students look at the clock tomorrow morning. Will they even notice 🤞? #grade7 #Maths #vietnam

Happy Fibonacci Sequence day! Lots of rich discussions about how the #Fibonacci numbers appear in nature and in art. Ss explored the golden ratio using their own measurements. #grade7 #Vietnam #mathfun #fibonacci #seashells #southchinasea

Rhinos are disappearing fast 😢A big thank you to @WildernessFdnSA We learned that 9300 rhino have been poached for their horns since 2008. Vietnam is one of the biggest consumers. Our students are our future to help spread awareness. #Vietnam #rhinos

Look who showed up to play Predator & Prey with the Gr.7s at our local park today. We were talking about frogs & toads in the ecosystem & poof! 🪄 It appeared ready to play its part in the food chain! #grade7 #ecosystems #HCMC #vietnam
