Our school year is drawing to a close and final exams will begin next week. After they finish exams, most of our students will head to their hometowns for spring festival break (about 6 weeks long!). Today, we held our final English Corner of this school term. This time, Angie volunteered to lead the lesson about Christmas. After reading the Christmas story, she asked each student to draw a nativity scene – on their heads without looking:
The winner received a prize: an apple pie, baked in the shape of a star. We played another game, sang some traditional carols, and discussed the meaning of Christmas symbols. Afterwards, everyone gathered around the table for snacks and candy canes:
From our side of the world to wherever you may be – Merry Christmas!
Hi Mark & Susan,
I am Ted that worked for Nalco in Victoria, Texas before. We live in Taiwan now and I am still with Nalco. Mrs. Gayle Hardcastle told us that you are in Yunnan and have this blog, so I come to say hi and wish you and your family have a very merry Christmas and a happy new year! I visit China several times a year for business, so I may get a chance to visit you in China in the future.
A nativity scene, drawn on their heads…pretty challenging! You will have to post the winners picture.
Ted, so good to hear from you after so long. We really enjoyed the time that we spent together with you and Amy in Victoria and are glad to reconnect. Maybe we’ll make it to Taiwan sometime now that we are so close by.
