Gabo Got an Award
Gabo received an award during the elementary assembly last Friday. Lately he has been asking more questions and sharing more, so his teacher Ms. Bevan decided to recognize his efforts. Congratulations Gabo!
My name is Tod Baker. I like teaching (especially in international schools), photography, reading, writing, baseball, dogs, and playing for the trophy at my uncle Gary's annual croquet tournament. Here I post about these interests and some family news as well.
I am the IT Coordinator at International School of Tianjin. You can also find my thoughts about teaching and learning with technology at Watch Your Bobber, IT K5 and occasionally at U Tech Tips.

The best part about Saturday is watching Gabo play soccer. This morning, after a hot French toast breakfast Gabo, Tati and I hopped in a taxi and rode to IST for Gabo's 9am soccer practice. I took a few snapshots of Gabo on the field running, dribbling, passing, and shooting. I rolled them into this movie that I created with iPhoto and ScreenFlow software. A big thanks to Jamendo for giving me the free music with full permissions to modify, adapt, and build upon! I just downloaded the track, added it to my movie, and credited the author. Jamendo rocks!
Gabo drew this picture yesterday at school. He said, "I was just working before lunch."
I caught Gabo climbing on this rope thing this afternoon at school. I'm fortunate to be able to watch Gabo grow up at school. And it's a great pleasure. Although I know he didn't like it the other day when I made him eat all of his lunch.
At 9am yesterday morning Gabo joined 10 other K-1 boys and girls on the IST soccer field for soccer practice. He was a very apprehensive about joining the soccer club organized by the IST ClubFootball Academy, but once he joined the field with his friends he had a great time. Coach Clive and Coach Ben led the young soccer players through a productive and fun hour of soccer drills, lessons, and a game. We can't wait to return next Saturday.

Tati and I attended Gabo's Open House at IST on Friday. Gabo led us through about a dozen stations where he showed us what he learns, who he learns with, and how he learns it. We were very impressed and pleased with Gab's enthusiasm and knowledge.
