Educators with PRIDE Unite

Well, its that time of year ..... the HOLIDAYS are approaching! I am up to my neck in the regular school activities of guiding 54-4th graders through their paces; beginning to prepare the students for exams in late January; leading a girls club choir that will perform locally at two venues; gifting my time and supplies for several Choco-Mania parties (I have a million molds and I buy the chocolate, etc.); baking treats to share with Western co-workers in an oven about the size of a six quart bucket; and, generally trying to spread cheer wherever I can.

I love it!

I'm also looking forward to a few days of R&R in Hong Kong and several

breaks!

Happy Holidays!

This has been the best holiday season I've had in years. My life is truly blessed! Just having a final cappuccino after a mani/pedi to end my vacation time. Not totally prepared to teach tomorrow but I do have a plan in place! Looking forward to reconnecting with my two groups of 25+ students and I'm sure they're looking forward to seeing me! The Chinese government enforced a three day break so my students are actually in school today ! To all of us who are educators, may you enjoy the little joys of teaching no matter what age they are!!

Ahhhh......today was the last day with students until March! Oh how I enjoy having a break from them for awhile! Next week is four days of prepping for next semester and cleaning up the classroom. It will be so nice to go in and leisurely work through piles of sorting and filing, creating and displaying, chatting with co-workers and being able to finish a complete sentence (never mind a complete thought) without the interruption of a 4th grader. Then a few days rest at home and I'll be off to reconnect with my Thai 'family'. I see plenty of sunshine and Tom Yum in my future! lolol For now, I'll go back to sipping

. Only 12 more sleeps until I leave!
