Wow, Deb!!
Thanks for all the fantastic ideas. I never even thought of the consulate!
He'd be so thrilled to get mail.
He's only 8, so unlikely to get employed anywhere...but we do take him to
Chinese restaurants when budget allows. In fact, my oldest ds eats with
chopsticks now. He figured it out the first time he tried, I just showed him
how to hold them and VOILA!
I was impressed and he pointed out that gamers have good hand-eye
coordination.
Aha! Now I have another plus for letting your kids play endless hours of
Zelda.....
There is a little Chinese shop they love at the mall.
They befriended a little boy whose parents own it and now we have to stop by
there every time we go to the mall.
I just need more stuff here at home for him to dabble with.
I think I'll find a consulate nearby...maybe Atlanta.
Thanks again.

Just a tiny tip -- when I was trying to locate books on Ancient China
for my husband's Social Studies classes, I discovered that for some
reason they are split into two separate Dewey decimal groupings. I
guess one is for Ancient China and another for really, really Ancient
China. Sooooo, if you think you've seen all the books your library has
to offer about China, look again! They might be hiding some just to
mystify you!

We've really used the Consulate lending library a lot. Sometimes the
videos aren't as good as they sound in the description, or sometimes the
books aren't what we expected, but for the most part we've had good luck
and great fun.

You must have a pretty good library!! I think our
branch only has whole numbers :-) and Magic School Bus
fills up one third of the science shelf (singular).
But it is WAY better than nothing!!

My guess (without checking the dewey details) is one was for recorded history
and one was for archeological.
