Visitors from International Countries 

International Education Week (IEW) is a joint initiative of the U.S. Department of State and U.S. Department of Education that provides an opportunity to celebrate the benefits of international education and exchange worldwide. IEW was first held in 2000 and today it's celebrated in more than 100 countries worldwide. This annual initiative aims to promote international understanding and build support for international educational exchange by encouraging the development of programs that prepare Americans to live and work in a global environment and attract future leaders from abroad to study in the United States. 

Yesterday, our class learned from Lisa, exchange student from Germany, and  Ilyas  from Kazakhstan. Lisa has a special connection to our class: her host family is the Ryan family. Both students presented in English via power points about their countries. Also, they answered questions from the students.
