I spent the morning working on school ideas, trying to make sure I know the material well enough to not get bum-fuzzled in front of the class. CCTV is running a dialogue between several commentators discussing democracy, comparing the US, Europe, China, and developing countries. It’s interesting listening to the various opinions on the failing US version.
Judy found out today she’s going to get the chance to take a group of her 5th graders, travel to a Chinese elementary school, and teach a music lesson to her students and the Chinese students. She’s not sure why she’s getting the chance, but the school needed someone to do it. It’s some kid of exchange program. Judy’s friend Shannon volunteered her for it. It’s supposed to happen on Friday, March 21.
WEDNESDAY, 3/12/14
Nothing new and exciting happens at BISS today. As I’m about to leave for my new Wednesday class, I get a call from the school. They’re calling me to let know that next week, my schedule will change again. They still need me to teach the new 10th grade music class, but next week it’s moved to Thursday. This is good news, because Wednesday will be a free day again, and I’m still going to make a little extra money. My Thursday schedule is really full now, with Guitar Club at 12:00, 10th and 11th grade music classes from 12:30 to 4:00, and Orchestra Club from 4:15 to 5:45. It almost seems like a job.
