CAFE
Today I had a meeting with the group from CAFE (College Access for Everyone), a group being started on grounds to teach College Prep and SAT classes in Charlottesville high school next semester.
It's going to be a lot of work writing the curriculum, but I'm looking forward to meeting the kids next semester and getting started. Finally, a sustainable service endeavor!

LDN
This summer, I will be traveling extensively. At least, more extensively than I ever have before. I'll be spending most of my time on trains, like in the picture above.
I will be in London for most of June and some of July taking a class, and then moving on to Scotland, Germany, France, and Ireland.
Moving Lips
Today in Exceptional Learners, we watched a video about Hearing Impairment.
One man, born deaf, signed that English was nothing more than "moving lips", and that ASL was an art.
It reminded me of one time when I tried to teach myself ASL using a dictionary, but only made it to "across". And it reminded me, as Dickens rolled in his grave, how much more English is than "moving lips".
