Ahh, Easter is over! YEA!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I usually have about 5-6 classes on the weekends, this weekend I will say was a lot easier teaching wise, as I didn’t have to plan a bunch of different grade levels; however, it was a little stressful getting different supplies, organizing activities and games for the different levels to do; to make it more interesting so that new students will enroll in the school. Good thing I have help, the three assistants have been more than helpful! First of all, they can speak Chinese to the store owners to get the items we needed at a better price. Second of all, they called the parents asked them to bring their kids at certain times and to invite friends or ask their friends if they were interested in bringing them to the school for a free lesson and some fun. Who in China says no to a free English lesson and fun for their kids on a rainy weekend…no one! Approximately, 90 new students showed up for the weekends festivities. Usually I have about 10-12 kids in a class, one of them I had about 18, 3-4 year olds. That was a fun task trying to get them all to listen & do the activities…so funny, them in their bunny ears, jumping around the classroom. Here are a few photos from this weekend’s party…
Note to self: Monica and Amber are my PT Assistants who are both very fluent in Chinese and English, Shelly is another PT assistant who helps in coordinating the classes/times, she can speak some English but not as fluently...and she's a random hugger. haha She comes up behind you and hugs you...
