Spring in Finland


Celebrating Vappu (Workers' Day)




Greetings to you all. Finland is transformed now, white to green, white to blue. Here are a few recent pictures. Thursday we three Americans present our work in Mikkeli. This week I have been busy distributing surveys to students and teachers and trying to get an idea of one existing study on immigrant education that is only available in Finnish. I've been using Google translate to at least get some idea of what each section is about. I am finding that it hurts my head to read the English translation in the state that it is in, but it's better than nothing (and quite impressive what technology can do).
