Adventure? Excitement? The teacher craves not these things…
Habitat for Humanity Philippines
This will probably be my last post for a while. My wife and I are leading a group of 16 SAS juniors and seniors to Lucena City on the Luzon Island in the Philippines next week to build a house with Habitat for Humanity. The following week, we take another group of 24 sophomores to Chengdu in China’s Sichuan Province. I doubt I’ll be blogging much from these two places, however I am sure I’ll have a lot to blog about when I get back. Check back around October 15 and we’ll be back in full swing here at Shanghai American School.
In the mean time, if you haven’t seen it yet, be sure to check out the new SAS Economists student blog where our AP and IB students have begun their careers as bloggers with much enthusiasm and several great posts have already appeared! These kids are amazing writers and some of their blog posts include analysis that goes way beyond what I would expect of them only 5 weeks into their Principles of Economics course! Way to go guys, keep it up and I hope some of you choose to post while I’m away on these trips.
