Today's class (the last of the current session) was a field trip to see Children Of The Revolution play a free outdoor lunchtime concert at Seattle City Hall. Inna, Anna, Pei Hsuan and Noriko were able to make it.The plan was to watch COTR's first set from 12 - 12:45, then I would drive them all back to ACE for their 1pm class. COTR played a great set and when it came time to go Inna and Anna said they wanted to skip their next class (which was only watching a movie anyway) and watch COTR's second set. But Noriko and Pei Hsuan had to attend their 1pm classes because they had tests to do.
In the end I took the two back to ACE and returned dowtown to the concert as quickly as possible. This meant that Inna and Anna saw the second set which includes the great salsa dancing in Isla Margarita.
[Added August 29th -- online video of the whole concert!]
Afterwards I introduced Inna and Anna to the band. Vassili, the lead singer, seems to know phrases in every language on Earth and said something to them in Russian that made them blush.
I don't know how much English my students learned today, but they seemed to have a lot of fun. A great end to this session's classes!Next week a new session starts with a new crop of students. Inna and Anna are going home and Pei Hsuan will leave soon, too. I've had a great group of students in this first session; I hope the next group is as passionate about music and has similarly fun and outgoing personalities.

I really hope that you will have active students next session (but no such hyperactive and crazy as you had during this one).
thanks again for all fun we had!!!
