Judy starts \u201cBISS On The Road\u201d this week, helping with the Pre-K class. Today\u2019s activity is a visit to the apartment of one of the faculty members at BISS. The students had a blast playing in the home and climbing around on the bunk beds.<\/p>\n

All the elementary grade levels are participating in different activities all week long. The 3rd<\/sup> and 4th<\/sup> grade classes are going out camping for a night, staying in tents and everything. Those teachers have way more energy (and courage) than I can imagine.<\/p>\n

I did my weekly grocery shopping at Metro and the wet market. After cleaning up, I took the train over the BHSF Main Campus. We had received an email about performance of the English musical version of \u201cLes Miserable\u201d. Really? As the music teacher at BHSFIC, I thought maybe I should attend, and check out what they were doing. The program started at 3:30. I arrived at 3:00 pm, met some of the other faculty from school, and settled in for the performance.<\/p>\n

We\u2019ve completed 3 weeks of school. I guess their production has been working on this all summer. The performance was two and one-half hours. They sang the entire show in English. It was performed with pre-recorded music, and they did a great job of catching all the musical cues. Some of the cues were really tough. They had great sets, and lots of interesting lighting and visual effects. I keep thinking how hard it would have been to flip the scenario, and have a group of English speaking students perform a work of this magnitude and difficulty in Chinese. It was quite an accomplishment! Very entertaining!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
