Minnehaha is once again hosting Amity teaching interns for the 2010-2011 school year. The Chinese Amity Zhi Cong Lin will be helping Dr. Lan in the Chinese classroom by grading homework and quizzes, and occa- sionally planning classroom games and other activities.

Lin has a degree in teaching Chinese as a foreign language, which is what got her started in the Amity program.

Lin left China and arrived in Minnesota in early September and will continue her stay through- out the school year. While here, she will live in three American homes to maximize her American experience.
