Since we posted something. Just looked at the blog and realized I inadvertently posted a "school" post. Guess that's the problem with using blogspot for my school and personal blogs. Of course, now you all know that Paul's class is doing the exhibition, an incredible 8-week student-led inquiry unit. It's amazing to see students carry out their own inquiry. Fun stuff!
We are down to 3 weeks left in Uzbekistan. In addition to teaching and after-school activities, we have been busy with our transition to China. The moving company has stopped by to see what we will ship. We have located an apartment in China (30th floor of a high-rise) and signed the lease. We have our plan tickets from US to Guangzhou, and we are completing the paperwork for our Chinese visas.
We depart Tashkent on June 8 and spend a week in Maryland visiting Paul's family. Then we fly to Seattle to see Jeanette's family for a few days. Then it's off to Portland for 5 weeks. We're renting a place in the Pearl District where I'm sure we will spend most of our time drinking coffee, eating good food and drinking a glass or two of red wine. We have considered bringing a bottle of Uzbek wine back to share with everyone, but we'd like to keep our friends :)
We fly to Guangzhou on July 26. Our new school has a week's worth of orientation activities scheduled for us. Then it's a week of getting ready for the students to arrive. We're excited about our new adventure.
