School, school school

So today I taught some second graders how to go on the internet. Some of them have never logged on-line before. I took them to a crayola website to explain how there are advertisements on-line as well as on TV, in magazines, newspapers etc. Those who had never used it before were amazed, and even took home the little instruction sheet I made so they can check out the website on their own!

I totally conquered the preschoolers today- they're so tiny I can't believe it! Today I also taught the same pre-k section I first had on Wednesday, and their behavior was 10000 times better. I have one more section of pre-k, followed by an assembly, and then Laura should be in Shanghai soon. If not I may play ultimate Frisbee with the other teachers and/or go to a bar or something- I'm not sure yet. I'm look forward to exploring Shanghai with Laura- we're going to do many touristy things hopefully, and we'll look all around the Puxi area.

I am also starting to learn the Shanghai dialect. I know "Hi" "How are you?" "Good" "Thank you" and "Goodbye". A good start!
