As we head towards Skógafoss this morning, here is a place where the ground opened up following an earthquake in 2000, producing the plumes of smoke and steam that you can see in the photo!😱

A fantastic afternoon of reflection focusing on the importance of gaining and maintaining student attention in the classroom. It is, after all, the gateway to learning! Thanks @XpatEducator - lots of great ideas to take back to @FCATArmfield! 🙌🏼
