The Journey Begins

Come with the Bock Family as we learn, love, teach and adventure in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil! To our families, students, friends and colleagues, this is an invitation to join our adventure! Zachary, Jackson, Kelly and Joshua will post blog entries here to share our learning and our journeys. We will miss you all so much so please comment and post as we try to bridge the distance from the northern to southern hemisphere!


We formally begin on July 21 but have been trying to learn as much as we can about is beautiful country. 


Learn with us...

We will live in an apartment on Copacabana Beach in Rio de Janeiro






We will teach at Escola Americana do Rio de Janeiro.


We hear there are monkeys at EARJ that tap on the windows to try to get the attention of the students!


We can't wait to learn along with all of our students, family and friends as we discover Brazil!
Kelly, Joshua, Zachary and Jackson

  2. Hi Ms. Bock, I have your monarch butterfly book. I brought it home by accident. It seems like a cool place.

    1. Hi McKade! I hope it is a cool place! You can let your sister and brothers read my monarch butterfly book. As long as someone is reading my book I will be happy! I hope you are having a great summer! A wonderful third grade year is waiting for you! Send me an email and let me know how it is going! Ms. Bock kellyandjoshuabock@gmail.com

  3. Are you really gone already? I can't wait until I open this up and see your smiling faces tucked safely in your new beachy apartment. Safe travels and exciting new adventures to all of you. I miss you already and school hasn't even started yet! The village will follow you.

  4. Hi Jamie,
    We are still here. We just received our plane tickets yesterday afternoon for leaving Aug. 16 and arriving on the 17th. We are all more than ready and excited to get going and get there. We are truly fortunate to have great people on both ends of this experience. We should have tea next week!
