GAPP March 3, 2011 Thursday (Donnerstag)

Well, we are all excited about the other three NMTCC teachers that will be arriving today.  They will come directly to the school to meet up with our group and the Germans.

Some of the students saw this beautful Lutheran church named Dresden Frauenkirche, which literally means Church of Our Lady. It was built in the 18th century but destroyed in the firebombing of Dresden (as were many, many other buildings in Dresden).  The church was reconstructed in 2004 on the outside, the inside later on and on October 30 and 31 was reconsecrated with festivities through the Protestant Observation of Reformation Day.  Once a month a ceremony called Angelica Evensong is held in English. Much thanks to Emily, a student in Commerical Art for this photo. The picture below is an aerial view so you can feel the emotion of the whole area! Thanks to Wolfgang Pehlemann for this aerial shot.

Well you must keep your ears on for more news from your most impressive group in Freital, Germany.
Feel free to share this blog with other teachers and friends.  A history teacher in New Jersey might be showing this to her class and following along with us.  I say HI to her, if that is the case.
