Thursday Day 29 "Parent Teacher Night"

Today was pretty much a blur. We were exhausted and didn't really have our lesson plans ready. Luckily it went okay for the most part. The kids really are getting better at their English.

We had cooking class and had some delicious broccoli and pork. Michael is seriously the best cook. Our food here is way better than the food at Kaiyin, and he likes to make food that we actually enjoy. I love cooking in woks too, not that I have actually done it, we just watch Michael do it, but I want to learn and try it, because it is way better than a regular frying pan. Maybe I will buy one here..

It was Sarinas birthday tonight so we went to Gina's pizza to celebrate. We got a Hawaiian pizza that was really good.

Parent Teacher Night: the biggest joke since we have been here. I said 5 words the entire night. We had to take a bus to our school at 6:30 and then sat in our supply room for an hour and a half until it was time to go "meet" the parents. Then I walked in said "Hello, my name is Melissa" and I walked out, and the school gave us a taxi ride home. When they told us that they didn't want us to talk to much they were being serious.

The rest of our day consisted of doing our mountains of laundry, which is kind of impossible be cause our washer is tiny and slightly broken as it is, and there are 4 other girls who need to use the washer too. We finished packing for our Beijing trip, which was pretty much just not un-packing the same stuff from Yangshuo from yesterday. We are leaving directly after school, so we have to be all ready to go in the morning.


The broccoli and pork we made in cooking class today :-) 
in the taxi we got to take back from parent night. You don't see these signs very often here.

I have the cutest kids ever :-) 








These are the PE teachers who come every Friday. The kids adore them. (and so do the Chinese teachers ;)
Judy is one of my favorites..although there are many ;)
All the kids are so helpful and set up lunch every day.
