I thought I had classes this week and also next week. During my 11<sup>th<\/sup> grade class today, as I was giving them a synopsis of our plan for the next two weeks, they start telling me that the 11<sup>th<\/sup> grade doesn\u2019t have classes next week. Huh? They are given the week off from school to focus on the SAT test to be given on Saturday, June 7. With finals the next week (no music classes), I\u2019m effectively finished with them after tomorrow. That\u2019s four classes after April 10. I was worried about having enough classroom materials at one point in March. Now I have a ton of stuff I didn\u2019t get to.<\/p>\n<p>After school today, there is a short program welcoming four US schools to BHSFIC. They are visiting as part of an exchange program with our 10<sup>th<\/sup> grade students who went to the US during January &amp; February. They\u2019re St. Margaret\u2019s from Southern California, Brophy Prep from Phoenix, St. Andrew from Austin, and Trinity Valley from Fort Worth. The students are staying with Chinese families, and touring Beijing, as well as attending a few classes at our campus.<\/p>\n<p>Our students put on a variety show, with singers, musicians, a skater, and a few other assorted acts. It\u2019s definitely a \u201cvariety\u201d show. There is lots of talent at the school.<\/p>\n<p>After the show, there are snacks, and while I\u2019m visiting with another of the part-time teachers (like me), she mentions that today is her last day? No 10<sup>th<\/sup> grade electives for the rest of the year? This is new information for me. I\u2019ll need to get clarification tomorrow, but it may be my last day for the year.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I\u2019m back to school today, and a surprise awaits me.
