Reading Time: < 1 minute I buy Lego mostly for my daughter and her friends’ birthday gifts. There are 5 stores I usually go (both online and offline): Lego official website, Amazon (probably bought the most), Walmart (both online and store pickup), Target (online, free shipping with red card), and Toys R Us (both online and store pickup). Note in
Reading Time: < 1 minute Recently my wife and I are having some trouble find out a way to manage our old daughter’s at home behaviors, esp. around good working habit (wait until last minute to do homework or play piano), clean up the mess after playing, be nice to her younger sister, and last but not least, playdate with
Reading Time: < 1 minute There are many good summer day camps in St. Louis area. STLToday recently has a good piece on this topic. Personally my old daughter has been to the JCC Day Camp, and Andrews Academy. We like both, with a bit preference over Andrews: for its after care, and overall quality. Note cost-wise, Andrews is a
Reading Time: 2 minutes Today I had opportunity being a Junior Achievement Volunteer at Northview Elementary School (Jennings). This is the first time I volunteer for JA, also my first time really being a teaching position at school. Almost 18 years I did some brief teaching (Abaqus finite element analysis) for some civil engineering graduate students. More recently I
Reading Time: 2 minutes (Update 28-Feb-2017) Just got back from the book fair in Spoede school, camp read a lot. It’s a lot of efforts from the volunteers and the teachers. At the same time a lot fun for the little kids and the families. Part of the profit goes to the SSA (the parent association of the school).
Reading Time: < 1 minute 昨晚在初中群里面惊闻我的初中物理老师姚仁汉老师，因病去世，年仅56（虚岁）。这里有相关的介绍, 还有这里, 和这里。 姚老师大学一毕业就来镇海中学（84年），我们（初二）是他的第一批学生，教了两年（初二初三）。除了教书，他还组织物理兴趣小组。记得他带我们坐公交汽车去他的母校（宁波师范大学）参观，这是我第一次看到天文望远镜。98年我有机会回到母校镇中，有幸遇见他，当时他好像已经是领导，负责整个初中部教学工作。记得他还是是憨憨的老样子。现在算来，他当时大学毕业（22岁），我们初二（13岁），他大我们十岁都不到。他就是我们的兄长。 借用一句兄弟班同学的唁文“人生有幸，在最好的年纪遇上最好的老师”。。。
Reading Time: < 1 minute So here in Missouri, around February, is also the worst of the flu season. This year is the worst for a long time. I knew I got it at the New Year’s eve, and about 4 weeks later, I am not fully recovered. The problem was I had to work in the Saturday night/Sunday morning
Reading Time: 2 minutes Those schools are considered speciality schools, because they have their own philosophy, which is NOT exactly the same as other private schools (both sectarian and non-sectarian). Pre-school Schools that care and educate the younger ones, some even have infant class. A growing place: it’s located at Forsyth and Big Bend road, next to Washington U.

Reading Time: < 1 minute 今晚在高中群里突然听到我的初中班主任数学老师，省劳动模范周国夫三年前已去世。下面的博客中有周老师的照片。我从初中到镇海中学住宿读书，一个月回一次家，从某种意义上讲，周老师就是我们这些住宿生的父亲。我也受到周老师很多影响，尤其是学习（自学）方法和态度方面。他的数学课布置很多讲义（作业），他会讲解一些题，但主要是要自学。记得我们初一自学初二内容，以此类推。他有时又很大方，比如说数学课以后是英语考试，他说你们看英语吧。刚到镇中不久，有一次我发烧，有点严重，他和一些同学带我上医院，忙前忙后。现在想起来就像我对我的小孩一样。 这里有一个关于周老师的简短介绍。
