Here are the kids - all ready for their final classes before summer break! They have a half day today, and tomorrow Alea gets a birthday present: no school!
She got the first part of her ‘presents’ yesterday, as we welcomed the first big rainstorm of the season. The kids had just gone to bed when [...]
This week was the fifth graders’ PYP exhibition, a culminating project incorporating all sorts of learning that took place over their elementary school years. The class focuses on a student selected topic for the last 8 weeks of the school year and then presents what they learned to parents, teachers, and peers. This year’s theme [...]
As the year winds down, nothing around the school seems to slow down. The weeks and weekends are full of sports, student awards, socials, speeches, and all sorts of other “S” worded events.
Let’s see, today is Wednesday. Today there is volleyball practice and Susan’s after school activity, Tuesday were schoolwide meetings and a speech by [...]

Of course we celebrated Pi Day this year at school and at home. Breck and Alea have been singing all the Pi Songs they can remember. For those of you who might have forgotten, March 14th - 3.14 - is Pi Day (get it?). And of course, as a middle school math teacher, I do [...]

The whole school is aflutter this week because of a big technology conference we are hosting. There are administrators and tech personnel coming in from at least 26 international schools, and the 3-day conference is a huge showcase for the day-to-day uses of tech in the educational arena. Many teachers are personally delivering workshops: Susan [...]

Since Breck’s had his turn, let’s take a look at some of Alea’s contributions to the www. Her class has done a number of electronic activities this year that have been posted on the school’s website.
The first was an investigation into potential “Wonders of the World.” They typed up their research in Word, and then [...]

Well, the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree (to continue the vegetation simulation). Alea has been reading “Where the Red Fern Grows,” which I told her was one of my all-time favorite books. I also had told her that it is one that makes me cry at the end, and so she should keep [...]

Here they are - the bestest looking bunch of Stutz kids this side of the International Date Line and south of the Himalayas! We got Alea and Breck’s school pictures back, and so just have to share them with everyone:

A couple of new pages going up today - some shots of the kids during this past month and pictures taken during our typical days’ bus rides. Just another look at Life in India…

And here she is, our second pet. Given almost the same name as the original gecko we caught outside, Be-Be ended up in our lives as kind of an afterthought. The kids had been pestering Susan about getting an animal, but she wasn’t budging (although I hope to persuade her about a cat some day).
Stella, [...]

Whew. This week went out like a lion. It has been crazy, crazy, crazy around school as everyone in the middle and high school prepares for the “Week Without Walls” that kicks off next Monday. I’ll be traveling with the 6th graders to Matheran for 5 days of team- and class-building activities. They are super [...]

So Uncle Rob wrote me a nasty email the other day saying “You ought to list everything that you show on the front of the webpage. What’s wrong bonehead, haven’t you ever heard of a blog?” Or words to that effect. So we’ll give it a try. No guarantees on how often it’ll be updated, [...]
