China Schedule

China is just around the corner-- I can hardly believe it! I thought I would start off the blog by posting our schedule for the summer. Of course there is always a chance that a few things will change on the schedule, but this is the most finalized version that I have at this time! As you can see, we have an exiting summer planned! I look forward to seeing all the students in Beijing in about a week...
