Indo Info! I'm back and so is Indonesian at Boisdale! For new families, my name is Pat Anderson and I will be teaching Indonesian to all grades during The students call me " Bu" as this means "Mrs" in Indonesian. I have recently returned from an amazing trip around South America with 3880 photograpghs...so I couldn't resist sharing some of these with students for our first Indo session...lets call it multi cultural awareness. The students have been fascinated by the many different environments and wildlife across the countries that I visited and we were able to contrast these with what we know about Indonesia. I would like to use the newsletter to update families on the Indonesian program. If you have any questions about this program please do not hesitate to contact me.
