Things to be thankful for:1) We organized an English Club on the Western Campus on Friday, and it went amazingly well. I teach classes from 2-6pm on Fridays. The club was at 7:30pm, so I never left, and Peter, Jess, and Shannon arrived then. About 200 students filled the room; many of them came an hour early just to get good seats.
2) We invited four students to dinner with us on Thursday night. We made them Taco’s! It was fun to share some familiar foods with our friends. If you’re interested, there’s a video of this night on Facebook.
3) We have also had a couple movie nights in the past two weeks. We’ve shown Last of the Mohicans, and The Shawshank Redemption to a room of about 100 students. Both movies have inspired some interesting questions from our students.
Things to continue thinking about:
1) Each of us is having different difficulties with our classes. Please continue to remember the Friday 2-4pm class
2) Newt will be traveling to China early this week.
3) Beijing English Club on Saturday March 15th, at 1pm
4) English Week in May
5) Many of the English Teachers in Qinhuangdao will be traveling to Beijing next weekend.
6) Please continue to remember our friends and family back home that are ill.
