Applications being accepted for Visiting Teachers from China Program
By Carrie Wheeler
April 5, 2018
The University of Kentucky’s Confucius Institute’s (UKCI) is designed to help Kentucky schools develop Chinese language and culture study programs. The program also promotes international exchange between schools in the United States and China.
...One of the institute’s programs is the K-12 Chinese Language, Culture Development and Enhancement Program. Since 2011, this program has provided more than 30 Kentucky public schools with the opportunity to host highly qualified, licensed, native Chinese speaking educators to provide Chinese language instruction at the elementary, middle and high school level.
...“Confucius Classroom” is another UKCI program that helps educators advance their school’s Chinese language, culture development and enhancement program with more funding and resources. By hosting a Confucius Classroom, school districts receive extra financial support to help build quality Chinese language programs.

Title: Button Button Brain Break
Body:
From http://palmyraspanish1.blogspot.com/
Here's a no-prep idea for an active game in which one student guesses who is holding an item behind his/her back. The new twist on this "Button Button" game is that students are divided into three teams, and the teams take turns having a representative guess who is holding the item. Read about the game and watch it being played at http://palmyraspanish1.blogspot.com/2018/04/button-button-brain-break-from-sarah.html
