In 7 years in Shanghai, I’d never been to Jinshan before, and I think the whole 5th grade found the trip really worthwhile. Thank you to Ms Rekate for organizing the day for us; you can read more about the Village and its history on her blog, and we have details of how you can get there as a family if you’re interested; it would be a great trip to take with visitors to Shanghai.

My 14th and Final Soccer Day as a 5th grade homeroom teacher was AMAZING!
Not only was the weather fantastic, but we WON EVERY GAME, which is a first…the kids were scoring all over the place!
