It was our last day for this school year. I was glad to see that most of my students showed up. I gave them their report cards along with awards and prizes.
It is OK if you do not get a good mark. The most important thing is that you really learned something from the the classes.
We had to carry our chairs to the gym for the assembly. That was a challenge for my large and young class. Anyway, we made it through the crowded hall way and got set in our position in the gym.
We were the second class to go up to the stage after the speeches. We did not sing as loud as we usually do. It was OK! It really looked scary up on the tall stage. Even though we did not sing really loudly on the stage, it was fine because we had fun singing during the classes.
The program was too long for little kids. They took turns going to the washroom with me. I took care of one girl who got a bloody nose... When it ended we got all our chairs back to the classroom. Good job! I am so proud of you guys!
I encourage my students to use their Chinese names more, to speak Mandarin more, don't give up learning Chinese if they don't come back next year, pay attention in class and do their homework...I open the door, hugged everyone, wished them a good summer and let them go home.
