Zhongwen Xue Xiao (Chinese Language School)
On January the 14, I started language school in Kunming, Hunnan Province, China. This place is known as Spring City. It is suppose to be sunny each and every day with the weather of spring. I have only experienced about 2 of those days so far, which have been great blessings.
Keats Language School i have come to find out is somewhat challenging, although i think it is because the Chinese language is so confusing. Here I have already learned about 50 to 60 characters and more than 100 words. The most difficult thing for me though is the grammar. I am having a difficult time with structuring the sentence. I know that this will come easier as i practice and because i have a great teacher, Liu Shu.
I hope that during this time, while I am at language school, you will be lifting me up about learning the language! If you need anything lifted up for you let me know.
I hope that in this New Year you all will be blessed!
Also if you have any lesson plan ideas that i might could use next semester let me know!

Happy Birthday!
I had one of the best birthdays ever this year. My class and I had a big party on January 5. I taught them how to do the electric slide, cha cha slide, hokey pokey, and the limbo (how low can you go, obviously some of my students found out their best talent). They all got to have a little bit of birthday cake and enjoyed it. I also received some of the most amazing presents ever: paper michete book, ancient historic kite box (the kites of one of the girl's hometowns), coffee mugs, caligraphy material, lebron james bogglehead, iron picture, and much more.
The next night, on my birthday, we had cauzones in my Jeremy's apartment. Janina's (the German teacher) birthday was on the 7th. So then we went downstairs to Tara's and they threw us a surprise birthday party with all of our Chinese friends. We got to play games such as a pin the tail game and also cranium (we won, i think the first time ever). It was so great to have a multicultural birthday. This is one day birthday that I will not forget. I will post pictures as soon as they are available.
Thank you also for your birthday wishes!
