Kindergarten is all about the Fun. The Chinese teachers take the lessons seriously and you have to come up with the goods every time. This is seriously planned fun. Keeping almost forty six year olds engaged for an hour and a half is no easy undertaking. Not only do you need to teach them the target language constructively but you have to keep things moving so that they don't get bored. This entails a relentless pace of teaching, playing language based games, singing songs and coming up with ingenious ways to explain things. I'm fortunate that the kids are fantastic as are the four Chinese teachers I work alongside. I thoroughly enjoy the kindergarten days and have built up nice relationships with the kids, the teachers and even some parents. Last week I was awarded with some gifts.
One was a tissue paper flower given to me by one of the teachers.
Another was a romantic note from one of my favourite students, Harry.
