We went to a nearby park, "Beijing International Sculpture Park" or something like that. The kids took along drawing pads to draw what they saw: birds, buildings, trees... and, curiously, though today was smoggy, nearly every one of their pictures had a big similing sun (guess you see what you want when you're five). They told me some Chinese word that meant "draw what you see," but I don't remember it. I chilled and caused trouble as always.
Above is my "pre-school" class, meaning next year they'll go on to first grade. There are three years of Kindergarten in China, so not all of my students will. These two boys below are named Tom and Scott (good names, huh. They were real enthusiastic about this picture, as they often are about English class.
This next guy is named Hanson. Not sure where he got the name, but he's way cool. Following Hanson is Elephant (his Chinese name as well, so that explains that), then Sunny (even cuter in person) and Kevin (a corker indeed).
Here they are hard at work...
And finally, showing off the finished product. This last guy is one of my new students this semester, Jake, or as he says, Jaker. He's got a great personality, already one of my favorites.
