Teacher Intro.

Hello to all, my name is Helen Pereira-Raso and I have been teaching at BSS at 6 years.  I have been teaching for 13 years and it is the first time I have been teaching at an all girls school.  BSS is an independent school in Toronto and really close to the downtown core.  Here is a link to our school's website: www.bss.on.ca. I teach Geography and I work with teachers on curriculum development.  I am new to the Global Teenage Project, but I am really excited at the possibilities of our online collaboration.  :)  We will be checking our wiki every Friday of every week.  We are also a laptop school so the girls and myself have access to the internet at any point during the school day.   One really important note to share is that our "spring break - March Break here in Ontario, is 2 weeks long.  The students will be away from school between March 9-23rd.  So we will only be able to respond to your questions upon our return to class on the 27th of March.
