First Day of School

Today our students got their first taste of school life for students in Germany. We started off with a tour of the school and then observed some classes with our partners. Just before lunch, the students were treated to a special event where the German students "roast" their teachers at the end of the school year. Teachers ended up in some embarassing situations and with lots of goo and gook on them. Two teachers had to reinact a scene in the movie "Titanic" where Kate Winslet pretends she´s flying at the front of the ship. It was a hoot. Students had a nice long hour and a half lunch. We finished up the day with our welcome evening at 6:00 PM where we had dinner and played some fun games together. In all, a great day!

Herr Beigel took us on a tour of the school and showed us the technology the school has to offer.

The guys´ hectic schedule today has them simply handcuffed.

All the ladies seem to gravitate toward Danny...or is it his new Vaio laptop they like?
