Hi Everyone,

Welcome to the Montana TEA blog focused on service learning.  Let's start with an easy question so you can learn how to make comments on a blog post.  You will be amazed at how much you have learned by the end of your six weeks.

  2. Hello everybody.

    Watching the snow in the street right outside Helena's Airport was a lifetime moment, especially because it does not snow in my country.

    Something else that made me smile was definitely to meet and talk to the children at Bozeman Public High School's. To see and hear them speak English so naturally is always such a nice thing.

    I am sure that more nice moments will come along.

  4. hi!
    What always makes me smile since I arrived to the US is how easily people relate to you in the street or in shops, how easily they open up and start telling jokes or telling you about their lives. This is something that makes me feel at home and welcomed in a country with which I have been in love for long.

  6. One of the things that have made smile since I arrived in the United States was to visit very famous places in Washington DC like the Lincoln monument, the capitol, the white house, experiences that I will never forget, and of course will always make me smile.

  12. In fact the driver who picked us up on our arrival to the Hellena Airport on 4th Jan., 2012. He was really interesting and wonderful at making people laugh and at home. He made me go beyond smiling because I laughed all the way. Hope to meet the great comedian (He said so) again.
