I am teaching in Chengdu, China on a teacher exchange program between Phoenix Country Day School and the Chengdu Experimental Foreign Languages School.
Hi all,

I teach 5th grade science and mathematics at Phoenix Country Day School in Paradise Valley, AZ. There is a link to my school below. I have a M.S. in Geology from Idaho State University and have worked as a mudlogger in Wyoming and as a surveyor for the United States Forest Service in Idaho. For the past 23 years I have taught in Idaho, Kuwait, Korea, Myanmar, and Phoenix. My hobbies are rock hounding, reading, and traveling. I enjoy taking my students mineral collecting on the weekend. Our most recent trip was to collect mica near Cleator, AZ. We found huge books of mica in a pegmatite. My wife Dell and I have four daughters and six grandchildren. My favorite vacation was to the Grand Canyon where I rafted the Colorado River from Lee’s Ferry to Diamond Creek. My favorite sport is football and my favorite food is Asian.

About the flags:
The one in the middle is the flag of the Chinese Communist Party. The one on the left above is the Chinese National Flag. The one below it is the flag for the Chinese Youth League. The one on the right above is the flag for the People's Liberation Army. And the one below it is the flag for the Chinese Young Pioneers.

I pride myself in not knowing Chinese history......just kidding. Marx I know but the rest, not so much. Looks like the kids are having fun. I hope they get your jokes. I guess M&M's are universal???
