Preparations for Poland

Welcome to "The Daly Chronicles,"  an effort to connect two countries, three schools, and multiple classrooms to international learning.  I am Allyson Daly, a high school English teacher from Goldsboro, North Carolina.  Denise Ghiloni, a Massachusetts Language Arts teacher, and I are fortunate to have received State Department grants to observe and teach in Krakow, Poland.  Our host, Anna Krzeminska-Kaczynska, has already been awarded a grant to come to America, where she studied teaching at the University of Nebraska at Lincoln for six weeks.  She has graciously and wisely planned our trip, offering her home to welcome us and meet friends, observe and teach at the European College, visit sights in Krakow, and see the mountains at Zakopane.  As one who loves storytelling, this feels like the beginning of a quest; certainly it is the beginning of an adventure.
