La Befana

As a child you are told that Santa leaves gifts for every kid around the world.

But this is a lie.


He has helpers. Like La Befana, who visits children in Italy.

Here comes, here comes the Befana
she comes from the mountains in the deep of the night
snow and frost (ice) surrounds her
snow and frost and the West wind
here comes, here comes the Befana!

Viene, viene la Befana
Vien dai monti a notte fonda
neve e gelo la circondan..
neve e gelo e tramontana!
Viene, viene la Befana

She seems very cool.

Purpose of Blog

So what type of things can you use my blog for?

Virtual field trips: So its a bit expensive to take your class to Europe for some museum touring (trust me I've already brought my plane ticket). But its free to get online and share the photos I will post of my travels. I know I will be going to many museums (I'm a bit of a nerd).

Lesson ideas: Ok, I'm still a student but I've started coming up with some lessons I might use when I begin teaching. A little inspiration can come from anywhere.

Encourage student interest: I will also provide some information on the life of a study aboard student. Everything from the excitement to expected culture shock. Maybe it will plant the idea of studying aboard in some of your students.

Feel free to shoot me an email or leave a comment if there is something specific that you would like me to post.
