I have some questions about the school you worked for in China and I would really really appreciate if I could Email you but I don't see any Email address listed here. I know it's a lot to ask for but on Google I can't find anyone else mentioning working for that school so if I can get i contact with you, I would appreciate that a lot. I don't even know if you still check this web-page or not, but I'll take a chance hehe. Great web-page!

We can't wait to see you guys in 13 days!! Judy, You are so right about the children being "hams".Like children everywhere they love to get attention and approval. You asked some good questions about the lessons and I am going to make another post to give more details of how I do my job. We will have to do lunch when I get home in January and talk more about it. I have a very long winter break from December 25 to March 1. Thanks for the input. Paul,

Kids are "hams" all over the world! You said most of your work is oral but I saw them working at their desks. Do you have workbooks, or do you photocopy work? Is the internet helpful to your planning? I'm sure you couldn't have taken resources with you, but do you have access to any professional resources there? Keep the posts coming! I really enjoy reading them. Judy Hi Kathy and Paul,
