Before I write one of my usual updates, I'd like to share the work of my students. I'm currently teaching a group 4th to 7th graders who have now reached a fairly high level of competency in English. By way of exhibiting their work, I've started a blog for them so that others can see the kind of progress their making.
So far, they've researched important people in history and have written short biographies for them. Later this week, I will put up their recent project to design and describe their own fantasy character. If you, my faithful readers, have got the time, I know it would mean a lot to them if you took a look at what they've done and left some words of encouragement for them in their respective comments sections. Follow the picture to find access the blog.
As for me, a recent effort gone south has made me reevaluate my plans for the rest of this year. I think that I want to get back in shape by training for another marathon and getting my gills by getting PADI certified. Their might also be an upcoming trip to Da Lat, visiting friends from home, and a potential trip of my own back "west." It's not all fun and games, though. Summer school at ILA starts next week and I'm putting on a workshop about students with special needs this month. Compared to what I was doing last winter, though, this should be a walk in the park.
