This past China week has been a whirlwind of activity and accomplishment. One of my favorite accomplishments has been the Chinese writing. The children did a fine job.

We started the week about China off with some artifacts – a model of a Chinese junk, a big piece of jade, a dragon, and a coal pot. We looked at Chinese art, stories, the Chinese Zodiac, and much more. We made a huge paper dragon, and kites, and drawings of dragons and little village scenes. Great times, lots of effort and lots of participation.

We had Chinese food most days. We loved our egg rolls, our chicken fried rice, our wantons, our Chinese noodles, pork strips and many more wonderful edibles!

Many of the children brought in campaign posters. They are all hanging and all creative and exciting. It’s wonderful to see the children involve themselves with such a campaign as a presidential run for the school. We are so proud of them.

Some of the children brought in candy and other great treats to share with friends. All of these things will get a hefty review on Monday as we talk about the presidency and the vice presidency, what it means and what it should mean.

We will vote on Tuesday!
