Eileen taught her reading group kids at the library to count to five in Chinese…. Ages 3-5….. heh

Teaching was grueling yesterday, but I felt like I did a good job under the circumstances. Class remains quiet (intimidated?) but they seem pretty connected throughout the lecture.

I feel bad that I am reduced to lecturing but covered an awful lot of material yesterday. I was proud that I had posted a chart of information for my class online. They seemed pretty unimpressed.

Continued reading in “Children of the Alley” yesterday.

Mahfouz
tells a
good
story.

It covers
several
generations
living in
an alley
at the
edge of
a desert
and just
outside
the gate of
the lavish
home of
the founder
of the alley.

Good stuff.
