Chapitre Deux

…And now begins the next adventure. Stay tuned for future blogs about life in MOROCCO!!!!

In just a couple more weeks, Ivy and I will embark on the next leg of our world domination. This time around we have signed on for a two year stint in Casablanca, Morcocco. Ohhhh! Like the movie?! Well not really, as it was filmed in LA and is a fictitious representation. But YES, Humphrey Bogart will be there.

Morocco, as we have gathered, is almost 100% Muslim, speaks either Moroccan Arabic or French, Middle Eastern/Mediterranean influenced food, and home to the Sahara and the Atlas Mountains. Casablanca is on the ocean and appears to get pretty awesome weather, similar to maybe San Diego. But you can Google it. Better, more personal descriptions to come.

This time around we will be teaching in an international school and hopefully save a little money. Our school is described as 60% Moroccan kids, with a broad worldly mix for the remaining 50%. As you can tell I will be teaching Math (6th and 8th grade) and Science (6th). Ivy will be teaching 3rd grade. Upon arrival we will be cramming into the old school building to wait for the new school to finish. I am looking forward to teaching a manageable 30ish kids per class instead of the 60+ I had in Sierra Leone.

Preparations are under way, as we downsize, practice pack, and finish out Level 1 Rosetta Stone French! Au revoir!
