Miss Ning reads...

The children of China are lovely -- bright and fun. My friend Erin works as the English teacher in a Chinese/International pre-school. The children are pre-kindergarten ... 4 or 5 years old. The class has about 18 kids. Erin works with a team of 4 Chinese teachers.

She invited Miss Ning to read to the kids!

I spent an entire day in my Chinese language class getting ready. I learned to say, "Hello my little friends!" and as I read, I would point to something and say -- "what is this?" "Say it in Chinese -- say it in English".

The kids were wonderful -- and I was so proud of Erin. She's an inspiring and loving teacher. One of the hardest jobs in the world!

I'm going to help other educational groups by reading English materials and on a web site that translates traditional Chinese stories.

What a fun way to learn more about this country!
