Ending the first week


Well, we are wrapping up the first week. Susie taught most of the day on Thursday. She'll wrap up today, and then Jana will talk about applying what we're learning to the realities of the Chinese classroom - 50 or 60 students, teachers move from room to room, etc.


The academic team had a nice dinner with Jumbo and other leaders of the Zhuhai Education Bureau last evening. We're becoming good friends.


The academic team will go down to Macau this weekend. The other 7 members of the team will arrive Saturday eening. We're planning to visit with our friends on Sunday morning.


It's been a good week, and the energy level just rises next week as we add 140 Chinese students and model classroom lessons to the camp. It's good!
