Final trip preparations. Skype test.

Three days until I leave!!!(Sunday morning at 8:30am)  I am both excited and nervous. Excited for the chance to learn about China's educational system. Nervous about the LONG airplane ride and being away from Prospect School and my family for two weeks.

I would like to try out Video Skype tomorrow afternoon. I will get with Mrs. Koos to plan a test time with her webcam. I will have keep my laptop on during the afternoon if anyone would like to test out the Skype video  conference feature I hope to use during my trip.

Thank you for the digital photos which were submitted. The photo book "A Day at Prospect School" turned out beautifully!!! Mrs. Enos deserves a big thanks for the project. I am sure Mr. Li's school will treasure the book. I picked up some wonderful Oberlin historical items from the Oberlin Heritage Center for gifts to my new Chinese friends. Many Oberlin items will be taken and distributed to the Chinese students as well. I would like to thank the Oberlin Heritage Center for the donation of some of the items I will be giving away on my trip.

It should be noted that the third grade students of Prospect participate in a school day at The Little Red Schoolhouse in May. The Little Red Schoolhouse is maintained by the Oberlin Heritage Center and provides a wonderful look into early education in Oberlin. Please consider becoming a member of the Heritage Center to help preserve Oberlin's amazing history.
