Fund for Teachers Fellowship!

Yay!! We are officially going to London this summer to study our favorite guy, William Shakespeare! I feel so incredibly lucky to work for an Expeditionary Learning school where we get these amazing opportunities through organizations like Fund for Teachers!

A couple weeks ago, we found out via Twitter that we got the $10,000 grant that we worked for hours and hours and hours on earlier this year! It didn't feel real at first--until a couple days later we finally got our official email notification and then later in the week our letter in the mail! We worked for so many hours and revised our proposal so many times that receiving this fellowship is so incredibly rewarding and amazing.

We're now in the process of planning out our flight information, weekend trips, hotels, etc. It's amazing how fast $10,000 disappears!!! We are really looking forward to a webinar next week when we will find out more of the details of how we get our money so that we can finally start booking things. We are so thrilled to get this experience to go to London and hang out the Bard!
