Ridglea Hill's Mustangs

Below is a gallery featuring Mustangs decorated by my sweet 2nd graders back in Fort Worth. The mustang is our school's mascot and each student got to decorate their own for me to bring with on my trip.

Owen, Harper, Elizabeth Grace & Avery came to school with me today!

Today was my first day at the International School of Malmö. I am in a first grade classroom with a sweet teacher named Anna. All of the teachers at this school go by their first name (a European tradition). A lot of things about this school are different than Ridglea Hills. But, one similarity is they all still love Go Noodle and Baby Shark. Miss you guys already! Stay tuned for more Mustang updates -Ms. Hogan

Kambell, Yasmine, Ben & Rylan visited Swedish Art class today!

I went to art class with my students today where we created pipe-cleaner people to add to a project they have been working on. The students have been working on a unit titled "homes and shelters" and made clay caves in art. So today they made people to put inside of their caves. Here are some of the people some of my students made! Miss you guys already! -Ms. Hogan

Garrett, Adam, Lailah W. & Braxton

We have offically finished our first week of student teaching at the Malmö International School. Today, I watched a GoNoodle that I think y'all would LOVE - So maybe if you're lucky Mrs. Maxon will play it for you. Its called Pop See Ko and there are two versions the original and 2.0, both equally great. Love, Ms. Hogan.

Addyson, Zachary, Samantha, Joseph, Tajon, Holden & Adrian in Copenhagen, Denmark!

Prague, Czech Republic - with Briniyah, Asti, Carter, Jeneth & Reid

In this photo you can see an overview of the city of Prague which is the capital of the Czech Republic. We climbed up many, many stairs to get here and spent the evening watching the sun set over the city.

Vincent Van Gogh Museum with Delanna, Hallie & Garrett.

Last but certainly not least we have arrived at our final Mustang update. On Sunday, we spent the afternoon exploring the artwork of the famous artist Vincent Van Gogh. The museum was absolutely incredible. The image is one of Van Gogh's most famous self portiats.

Train to Luzern, Switzerland with Addison, Mrs. Maxon & Yasmine.

After spending 3 days in Interlaken, Switzerland we took an hour long train to Luzern, Switzerland for the evening. This photo was taken while we were on the train. Swizterland was beautiful because of its endless views of the Swiss Alps.
