I’m glad that you found my little corner of the internet, Ms. Hung-Haas! I’d be flattered if you shared the site with your teaching colleagues. It’s wonderful to have folks explore the site, rediscover their favorites and find new ideas. Reading stories and memories in the comments is my favorite part of managing the site, so thank you for sharing your experiences! ~Wes

I was just searching for a recipe for Lions Head meatballs (my mom used to make it and I finally decided to be brave and try to make it too) and came across your recipe and website and thought you looked familiar. Upon looking at your family pictures, I realized you are one of the Lincoln parents. I’m one of the 3rd grade teachers at Lincoln.

This is a great website – thanks for setting it up! I especially like your book recommendations (I love Grace Lin and Ying Ching Compestine) and the celebration and craft ideas. I haven’t explored everything on it yet (I see you have a section on Chinese American History – when I taught 4th grade at Lincoln, some families and I were able to take a trip to Marysville on the weekend which was fascinating). I’m going to share it with my 3rd grade teacher teammates. Do others at Lincoln know you created this? Hello to your wife and son for me. Happy holidays!

Looking at your page tonight to get ideas for this year. I love the ones who take the shape of household objects 🙂

My friend’s daughter in law from Qiqihar in Heilongjong province is having a baby in December. Her parents are unable to get visas to come over here. We are hosting a baby shower for her (and her 10 Chinese coworkers/teachers at Chinese immersion school). What kinds of things would be appropriate for shower gifts? I read red is a “good luck” color and am thinking about going with red for party decorations, etc. Also, I read about clothing of bright strips of fabric sewn together. We would really appreciate any suggestions you may have.

Thank you-
Louise and Marsha

Thanks for getting in touch, Dickson. I’ll write to you offline with more information. ~Wes

My friend, Richard Lee, was showing me his webiste for the Taishan project, (taishanproject.com) that you built.
I am working on a project to build a searchable website and catalog for a large collection of Katagami – antique Japanese fabric dye stencils.
The structure of Richard’s site is very much what I’m looking for.
Can you give me information about who built Richard’s site?
thank you very much, Dickson Schneider
