Half Way Through!

We cannot believe that we are halfway through our time in East Asia!  There are so many things that we have done at the school in the past couple of days.  

On Thursday our group participated in the Children's Day celebration at the school.  Each of the classrooms had different games like Twister and Minute to Win It, and even places where children could make no-bake cookies.  Our group divided and conquered among the school having fun alongside the kids and the adults as well.  In the afternoon we headed out with some of the teachers from the school to a lunch.  Then they offered to take us around the city and there was a cool historical museum that we explored for a couple of hours too. 

On Friday half of our group went on to teach another day with the Kindergarten class and the other half of us helped out different teachers that needed us.  This included everything from sorting books in the library to helping with a 1st grade class during reading time.  Friday was our last day at teaching at the school, which was a sad moment for all of us as we all bonded with the teachers and the students.  However, our sadness did not last long because we would be doing other activities at the school later on!  Our group loved teaching the kids about different animals and telling them stories! After school we headed over to the hotel for a short rest and then off to Alex and Jenny's house for dinner.  

Thank you all for supporting us and keeping us in your thoughts!  Father has been providing us with a great time in East Asia.  We will continue to post regularly as we have finally resolved the picture issue!  

Here are a few pictures from the past few days at the school:
