CHALK
I just found this at the video store. Great mockumentary about modern day teaching. Many of the facts and facets of real teaching experience are there, they just figure out how to have it all between 4 newish high school teachers.
If you are a teacher, or know naything about th ehigh school experience, you got to watch this!
Bonus: It was filmed in Austin, so it set in a Texas High School.

Travel Update
Returned July 3rd from Europe.
We actually ended up doing Amsterdam to Berlin to Paris to London, about 3 days in each town.
I left at Midnight to drive 600 miles to Fort Davis. I could have left later had I known it was 80 mph on I-10 as the legal speed limit. I wanted to have enough time to make it there by 3pm, but I made it quite early.
Be up here through the 10th at an "Age of the Milkyway" workshop.

Halima visits Houston Zoo
Watch this video hosted on YOUTUBE of Halima's visit
to the Houston Zoo
And after the zoo, we took a train ride around Herman Park
It can be boring, so I speed it up to take 1/2 the amount of
time - so it might sound funny too!

US - Tajikistan experience continues
Next Wednesday, Feb 21st, a teacher fromteh town of Isfara will be arriving in Houston to spend a few days at school and a weekend with me and my family.
She is from the town of Isfara, where my partner schools are.
Good for me, I can use her as courier to take some items back to Isfara for my partner Ibrahim.
I'll try and document the visit with pictures and now videos, since I have digital video capabilities and the rise of youtube.
If you visit YOUTUBE.COM and search for videos with keyword TAJIKISTAN, you can found about a dozen I have uploaded so far from my visit last April.
Our future guest in middle.

Teachers are off for the summer
So I have two choices being off for the summer.
1) Find another job for the summer to make extra money (I have my normal pay divided for yearly pay, I get the same paycheck every two weeks for the entire year).
2) Recreate
This year I decided to spend most of it on #2. I did some paid training for first two weeks after school, but the rest has been VACATION. To keep up with my activities for that you need to visit my other blog, Vicarious Moses @ http://teachmoses.blogspot.com
definition vicarious: Felt or undergone as if one were taking part in the experience or feelings of another
The big news, I'm suppossed to go to a different school next year, but I decided to accept a position at Lee High School, so I'll be here for another year!

Wife in Tajik Dress
On Mother's Day, Sylvia dressed in one of the Tajik dresses I had purchased for her. Thats all hand-done stitching. This isn't typical daily dress, but for special occasions, and Mother's Day qualifies here!
Below you can see some Tajik girls wearing dresses of the same style I photographed in Chorbogh.
