	Looking Up!
	With so many children, it's difficult to always know what is in their hearts that may be troubling them. So
	we asked the children to write on a 3x5 card one thing that was going good for them and one that was troubling them at school and also at home so that we could remember them more specifically on a daily basis. Jia li sat beneath the board of questions and surprisingly understood and responded quite well. Amusingly, everyone found someplace to write. Mu Yao dong and Zhou ping are sharing space in a rather unique manner below.

*A Rainy Day Project*
A really fun rainy day project was prepared for each home to work on cooperatively. Given the silhouette of a person, each child was to construct one part
	so that the end product was that of the entire home. The collages of all four homes were incredibly wonderful and quite
	creative. Of course prizes added ever so much more excitement and fun for everyone. All the children put so much effort in their contribution; above Duan Zi heng and Feng Xiao yan are working intently with the children in their home.
