Going to School in Costa Rica

In October I went to San Jose, Costa Rica to give two intercultural workshops at the Tri-Association conference for international schools (the session participants were awesome, BTW).

While I was there, I visited a public elementary school in rural Cartago with a colleague from our Costa Rica office. I love visiting schools in other countries and was honored to have the opportunity to spend the morning with a class of kindergarten kids and their teacher.

Here are some photos from my visit:

After talking and reading about Halloween - in English and Spanish - we passed out "pumpkins" for the kids to decorate

Hi, I'm Cate.

My goal in 2010 is to do one new thing each week, no matter how small. I'm documenting my progress on this blog and Twitter.

If you'd like to follow along - or even start your own do-one-new-thing-a-week project - that would be awesome. Your supportive comments, insights, and accountability are most welcome.

I'm utterly fascinated by the projects people commit to so if you're working on a personal project in 2010, I'd love to hear about it -- you can email me at cate [@] thinkingtravel [.] com or leave a comment.
