Video of October 1st celebration

Here's the first video. Lots more to come. The quality of the sound isn't great, so please forgive. I hope you catch the spirit!

This video is of our primary school staff (teachers, school manager and English volunteer) playing a singing game. They were awesome, and it was a lot of fun. I am so proud of what our teachers have accomplished this year. The school is really a fun, happy place to be, and I hope this video captures a bit of that.

(If you have trouble viewing the video, I have been told it helps to download it to your computer and then play it.)

First of October...

is a MAJOR holiday here. Most people get 7 days off of work...SWEET! Oh, not me.

To celebrate and show our patriotism, our COAT primary school, Xi Wang Le Yuan, had a 1st of October celebration and invited our house managers, volunteers and me to come hear them sing songs, dance and recite. Even their teachers played a singing game!

Here are a few photos. More photos and videos to come!

I Know It Has Been Forever....

But I hope you will forgive me when you see these faces!  I had a chance to drop by Eagles Wings 5 today and just couldn't resist taking photos until my camera batteries died. (They always seem to give out in Eagles Wings 5...I wonder why!)

 Here are our littlest eaglets sitting at their new "big kid" table waiting for their afternoon fruit snack. (And please don't worry about those serious expressions...I am not sure whether my foreign hair and nose or the sight of the camera is the true culprit, but there usually are lots of smiles and giggles).

Our newest eaglet!

Our littlest eaglet.

This little guy is actually not an eaglet, though I tried to bring him home with me. But I promised his mommy I would try to get a photo. Happy Birthday! Sorry about the serious expression. :(

Some people think I am crazy to come so far to do this job....I think I'd be crazy not to!
