About

Hello everyone!

My name is Emily Fano and I am excited to share my classroom and my work with all of you!

I am an elementary teacher and have spent most of my career in international teaching. This means that I have been working in international schools around the world as an elementary teacher. I teach the regular subjects like math, reading, science, and social studies all in English. The children I work with tend to be kids of expatriates and also come from all over. 

I taught second grade in Tanzania, second grade again in Guatemala, third grade in Mexico, and fourth grade in Germany. I've been able to experience some amazing things living abroad including: African safaris, meeting Jane Goodall (her grandchildren attended the school I worked for in Tanzania) seeing the Egyptain pyramids, releasing baby turtles on the black sand beaches of Guatemala, enjoying the Mexican canal boats at Xochimilco, hanging out at a traditional German Christmas market. I am currently back home in Virginia (thanks COVID), but who knows where I will end up next? 

Teaching and living abroad defintely has its ups and downs, but teaching is something I truly love, regardless of where I am doing it! Enjoy my blog!
