Today the kids walked into our classroom to find that all of their desks had been lowered as low as they would go, they didn't have chairs, and needed to use the pillows they brought to school to sit or kneel on. Chinese music was playing. :) We read as many books as we could that taught them about the Chinese culture, we even worked on our own book to take home. Reese and Michelle D. gave Chinese lessons. They taught us how to say hello, friend, thank you and how to count 1-10 in Chinese. We had fortune cookies and then ended our day with trying to eat Chow Mein Noodles with chopsticks. After they tried that I gave them popcorn to try with chopsticks. Michelle D. willingly walked around and provided one on one chopstick instructions. We also watched Wild China and learned about several animals that live in China, my favorite was learning about the cormorants who fished for the fishermen. Check it out on Netflix. :)
We also popped our next balloon to reveal what we will be doing on Tuesday....
On Tuesday, May 26, we will be Making Memories.
