Spring on Globaldreamers

Dear Friends,
Hope this message finds you well. I am receiving an award from the Ministry of education in Israel for my work. It is called a Teacher who made a difference in English teaching. There are four districts in Israel and in each district one educator is chosen from elementary school , junior high and high school. I was chosen from the elementary school section in the central district. It is a huge honor and everyone at my school is very excited!!
The head supervisor called to tell me and said they are overwhelmed with what I am doing for English teaching and technology! The kids are also very excited about this and I wanted to share this wonderful news with all of you.
Right now we have put up some information about Purim our Jewish Halloween. You can see it on share:
Globaldreamers and all of your wonderful contributions have brought me so much happiness and they could not ignore this work!! Thank you all so much for your wonderful contributions.
Hoping to hear from all of you soon.
With much friendship,
Marsha Goren

Valentine's Day is coming!!

Dear Friends,
I jsut wanted to write a few words and tell you the last projects have been just awesome.
the Giving project had more than 25 schools and it is really so creative and touching. Thank you all so much.
The Snow Challenge thing is growing and will be on going so please send your snow pics to us and we will add. It really is enjoyable especially to us since we do not have any snow in Petach Tikva.
We are now into our Valentine's Day project. This week in Israel we call it "Family day". We honor our families and all of the ones who are special to us and we love.
The kids and I will celebrate Valentine's day in our class however. We always prepare a surprise for each other like picking a name out of a hat and trying to keep it a secret until the 14th. It is really not easy but loads of fun.
Then we exchange gifts and eat all the goodies in class. It is so much fun for the kids and me!!
Hoping to hear from all of you soon.
Sincerely,
Marsha Goren
