Ulenhofcollege

Netherlands 2014-Monday March 31
Today students biked to Ulenhofcollege and parked in the crowded bike parking lot. Once in school, students attended classes in Dutch history, and geography. TC West students also worked with their Dutch twins to present a short skit using only the Dutch language. Students are having a great time and learning a lot! Tomorrow students will take a train to Arnhem, where they will visit the Open Air Museum (similar to Michigan's Greenfield Village). We will post some photos again tomorrow. Weather the last several days has been dry, mostly sunny, and in the low 70's!

TC West Netherlands Trip 2014 - Day 1 Travel Day

Netherlands 2014-Travel Day 1
We arrived today at Schipol Airport in the Netherlands, safely and on time! We took a few pictures in front of the "I am Amsterdam" sign at the airport, and then took a two hour bus ride to Doetinchem. As you can see from the photos, Traverse City West students were greeted by their Dutch friends with signs, cheers, hugs, and 68 degree weather!!! The Americans are now with their Dutch twins and their families for the week-end. On Monday, students will learn about Dutch history, language, geography, and art when they attend Ulenhofcollege. We will post to the blog again on Monday.
