As a child, I remember riding the popular
“It’s a Small World” ride at Disney World in
Florida. A common
English saying is “It’s a small world,” when we hear a story about people far away having some chance encounter or seeming coincidence.
The words “small world” came to me twice this week when I heard from two
DreyerCoaching.com team teachers.
“The most amazing thing happened in
Step 4 today. Scott and I had taken our friend from China to the
Virginia Museum of Fine Arts on Monday afternoon to see the
Terracotta Army exhibit. It was great! I was very excited to share with my students. So today in class I showed them the pictures I had from the museum and was ready to share views from the internet as well. Suddenly Bruce
pipes up –
that’s where I am! He and his family were in
Xi’an and had seen the site yesterday! They leave
tomorrow. I couldn’t believe the timing! So Bruce was able to tell us about what he had seen and learned and we encouraged the others to go if they can! And I encourage you to come to
Richmond to see
this exhibit if you can! It will be here until
March 11. It is the first time in its 80 year history that the
VMFA has an exhibit devoted to the art and archaeology of ancient China!
Just had to share this cool story!”

Mrs. McKinney teaches our
Advanced Vocabulary/Reading 2 class. We are only a few weeks away from Chinese New Year, and one morning this week she texted me that her students were not in class. We suspected they thought that our online classes has stopped for the holiday. So, I quickly texted the mothers–in Beijing– on Chinese social media, explaining that class was on and the teacher was waiting. Within a few minutes, the students joined the class and kept improving their English skills. Even in this technological age, I still marvel that Mrs. McKinney can text me, I can then text Beijing, and within a few minutes, our students in China are meeting with their teacher in Virginia–13 hours and 8,000 miles (12,800 km) away!
It’s a small world after all!
