Language Acquisition

Provide written notes, summaries, instructions, and prereading

ELL/English B students may not be able to process oral information quickly enough to understand fully or to make their own meaningful notes; your notes can highlight key ideas, new words, etc; written instructions are particularly useful to students when homework or major projects are assigned.

Sharpen Those Razors

It is getting close to that time of the year again.  Little hairs are slowly preparing to start covering the lips of men around the world. In 24 Days, Movember 2015 is set to begin.

Movember is more than just a bunch of men looking stunningly handsome for one month of the year, it is about raising awareness and money to help find solutions to a variety of men’s health issues.

It doesn’t matter if you’re a Mo Bro or a Mo Sista – Movember is for everyone. There are two ways to participate: sign up to grow a moustache for 30 days, and/or take the MOVE challenge and get active every day for 30 days.

If you’d like to learn more about the important work and impact the Movember Foundation is having please visit: http://hk.movember.com/programs/strategy.

If you’d like to get involved and join Team Nanjing, please visit http://mobro.co/richardfischl

Parents, Teachers, and Students are welcome to join the team. If you can’t grow an amazing moustache, take the MOVE challenge and exercise every day during the month of Movember (November).

If you have any questions please email me at rick.fischl@staff.nanjing-school.com or Mr. Buhler at bobbuhler@staff.nanjing-school.com
