Hello everyone,
In today’s PBL, the children learned about the customs of the Lunar Festival. They listened to the story, Dragons in the City, identified typical festival related objects including decorations, zodiac animals and food. They watched a short clip of a dragon dance and played a card matching game.
In phonics, the children reviewed the high-frequency words already taught and made short sentences using the pronouns he and she such as “He is walking” and “She is dancing.”
In Chinese class, the children celebrated the Lunar Festival by playing some simple games involving red envelopes (hong bao), played musical instruments and acted out a lion dance, searched for golden treasure in a bed of red rice, ground soy beans into bean liquid. And enjoyed a festive banquet of peanuts, chestnuts, grilled, steamed bread and warm lemon juice.
今天真是热热闹闹、年味儿十足的一天！孩子们穿着新年服装来到班级，一下子就把春节的喜庆气氛带满了教室。走进教室的孩子们有的舞狮子，有的磨豆浆，有的敲锣打鼓放鞭炮，还有摇拨浪鼓、甩彩带、数“压岁钱”的……每个角落都是欢声笑语，孩子们玩得那叫一个投入！
自由活动后，大家跟着《年来了》的童谣一起比划表演，把年兽的凶猛和小动物的慌张演得活灵活现，可爱极了！紧接着的“吸福”和“抢红包”游戏，更是让气氛一下子紧张又刺激，小嘴小手忙个不停~最后我们围坐成圈开了个温馨的茶话会，喝着清甜的柠檬水，分享昨天亲手做的米花糖、小虎带来的马年糕点、Clara的山楂棒棒糖、Elon的数字饼干……加上老师们准备的花生栗子、现烤年糕和沙糖桔，孩子们小嘴吃得鼓鼓的，吉祥话一句接一句。这一天有玩有吃有笑声，孩子们在热闹中真切地感受到了咱们中国年的传统与趣味，真是开心又充实！
