For the second half of class, the ESL students I'm now helping with went to the library to read and check out books. Occasionally there is a blind woman who comes to the library with her guide dog (I'm not sure if she was a volunteer, friend of the librarian, or what). Today, one of the ESL students and the blind woman were reading together. The student was reading a beginner's book and the blind woman had the same copy with braille below. She was helping the student with pronunciation, and the student was making the words come alive for the blind woman. It was really amazing. I wish schools could do more community service of that nature.
Also, four day weekend FTW.
