Where's Ms. Hegstrom??
I left on a leave of absence from October 4-22, 1998. During
that time, I participated in the 1998 Fulbright Memorial Fund
Teacher Program. Although I was not in the United States for most
of that time, I served as a "virtual teacher" while
I was gone.
Preparation: Activities at the beginning
of the school year prior to departure
Follow On Plan: A requirement of
the program. These are activities I hope I can implement with
my students as a result of my experience.
Schedule: A brief outline of the
activities in which participated while in Japan.
