The List
Okay- I have gotten several emails in the last few weeks asking what kinds of things we would like if a care package was sent our way, so I thought I would make a general list of things that would be appreciated and then people can do what they want with the ideas.
Anything warm- winter is coming quickly and it is getting pretty cool. Warm mittens, thick socks, slippers (Thad could use some warm slippers, as we won't be able to buy his size here...he wears a size 12)
Things to read- books and magazines are always great. We don't mind months old magazines. We read them ourselves and then use them in class. Also, the students like to borrow the English magazines to read.
American food- Cheese would be great, but alas, it doesn't ship well! (Although Thad likes EasyCheese, which I contend is not really cheese at all!) Breakfast cereal, mac&cheese, hot chocolate mix, pop-tarts, Hostess cupcakes (do those ship??) Also, those packets of dry mixes (gravy, alfredo, mac&cheese mix, spaghetti, etc...) 
So, how is that for a starter list? :) Hopefully it inspires those of you who love us and want to send something, but have no idea what to send.
We love and miss you all, and more than anything look forward to the emails and messages that we get from home. I am not sure what I would do without my internet access!

About Me
-
- Name: Michelle Ross
- Location: Chengxian, Gansu, CN
In America, I teach 8th grade English and reading and really enjoy spending time with middle school students. Some people think I am crazy for it, but Marsing has a great group of kids and I love being a part of their lives as they grow up! Right now I live in China and teach English and teaching methods to students who want to be teachers. I am here through Peace Corps, which I think is a fabulous experience and something that more people should look into doing! The application process can be a bit of a pain, but it is well worth the time and effort. Check out Peace Corps and give something back to the world that has given you so much!! Teaching runs in the family, as just about everyone is involved in education in one way or another. My dad is retired, but he was a teacher, counselor and principal for 30+ years, my mom is an elementary counselor, my sister and husband are both teachers and my brother will finish his teaching degree this next spring! "Those who can, do; those who can do magic, teach!"
