Merry Christmas 聖誕節快樂

Christmas at the School of Dreams

For lunch, the students were treated to McDonald’s. 

In the afternoon, there was a holiday program to showcase the students’ talents - dancing, singing, and playing traditional Chinese instruments. 

The Principal designed all of the costumes, while the teachers helped with the sewing.  Such talent and creativity.  It was impressive to see them make something from raw materials and to have it turn out great.

Pre-school

First Grade

Second Grade

Third Grade

Fourth Grade

One interesting thing about programs here is that judges score the performances and classes win money.  These 5^th graders got first place and won 1000 yuan, which is about $150. 

Sixth grade

Chinese instruments: 二胡  (a two-stringed fiddle), 古琴 (a 7-stringed zither), 笛子 （a bamboo flute), and 琵琶  (a pear-shaped fretted lute with 4 or 5 strings).

Santa came to hand out gifts :) 

Merry Christmas!
