Welcome

//Welcome students and teachers from Istanbul, Turkey and Anchorage, Alaska! Use this page to add a picture or say hello to each other. Use only first names, no last names please.//  I am Ms. Doore. I teach 6th grade at Rogers Park Elementary. This is the end of my 10th year here. Our school has about 550 students in Kindergarten to 6th grade. **I just found out that I'm going to visit Turkey this summer!**

Hello! My name is Grace. I am 11 years old, almost 12. I was born in Alaska and have lived there my whole life. I am going to New York City tonight at 1:00 AM! (May 15, 2009)  Hi! My name is Rachel M. I am 12 years old and have gone to Rogers Park since kindergarten. I am a student in Ms.Doore's class and I am enjoying the last few days of school and I can't wait to graduate 6th grade!

Hi! I am Ms Trueman and I teach Instructional Technology and Grade 6 Maths at Istanbul International Community School. I have worked here for the last 5 years. I am originally from Maryland in the United States . Why did you move to Turkey? 

Hey! My name is Selen. I am 12 years old and originally from Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. I came to IICS halfway through 5th grade, but I've been living in Turkey since 3rd grade. My teacher is Ms. Grahame, but Ms. Trueman teaches us Maths (and IT!). It's almost summer, so I'll be going back to Canada soon! :D  Selen: Why did you move to Turkey? Why are you moving back to Canada? 

Selen here again! I moved to Turkey for my dad's job. My dad is Turkish and my mom is Canadian. I won't actually be moving back to Canada, just visiting my mom's side of the family for the summer. It gets too hot in the summer in Turkey for me! Sometimes it gets up to 40 degrees celcius!
