Art Attacks!

http://www.hitentertainment.com/artattack/menu_artattacks.html

I've seen this TV show before. Now I am teaching Chinese at the beginners' level. I have 5 students now, and they're K-4 children. Every week I plan to do some hands-on practices with them and encourage them to use Chinese as a tool to communicate in class. This website, Art Attacks, is perfect for doing a 15-minute hands-on activity in class. Hope this website will be helpful to you, too!!

The industrialization of agriculture. In these video clips, Howard Lyman presents the inside story on why cows are no longer vegetarians these days.


This is a photo of my son Robert and my wife Daphne. It's taken in front of our apartment about 2 months ago. Can you feel the cold? We've applied for a plot in the community garden to plant some fruits and vegetables; however, the soil would be warm only from May to October. We're looking forward to become farmers again!

This is a corner of Carrefour in Kaohsiung, Taiwan. We've been in Madison, WI for one and a half years since August, 2008. I came with my wife Daphne and our 3-yr-old son Robert (who is 4 now). The difference between Kaohsiung and Madison? It never snows in Kaohsiung!!
Hi all,

This is actually my first blog. I'll try to post more photos and stories of my life here in Madison. Have fun!
