An entire year has passed since I accepted Kate Motaung‘s challenge to write for five minutes every day on the same topic. Last year I wrote the series titled Migrating North in which I described my experience moving from the southern hemisphere to another country in the northern hemisphere with my young family. I enjoyed the writing experience and was pleased that I had been able to keep up with the challenge.
This year I wish to participate again and this time I will be reflecting on my teaching experience both in Johannesburg, South Africa as well as in Toronto, Canada. I will see where the prompts lead me and what memories I will uncover in this series I have titled Blackboard Scribbles. As I did last year, I have created a button which will be used for these posts. I will use this button as well as when I link up to the 31 Days challenge on Kate Motaung’s blog.
I hope you enjoy reading a little of my memoirs as I will enjoy writing them.

I was always hoping you would write another series. I really appreciated reading about your migrating experience. It’s interesting to see how moving affects people emotionally and socially. And of course also because I find South Africa a fascinating country as it has a history intertwined with that of the Dutch speaking community. I enjoyed looking forward to your daily post for a month and I know I will enjoy your new series as well since I’m interested in education too (I studied educational sciences). Kind regards out of Belgium!
