Hello To Everyone: Classroom Memories

From Angela

Hi family and friends,

We're in Beijing now, but I thought I would share a little of my experience in China. I had a class of 11 students and their age range was about 8-13, I think. They were so much fun to be with and to teach. We taught about Valentine’s Day on Friday and lots of the kids gave Rebekah and me a Valentine card. One of my students named Joe gave me one with hearts around my name. So, I think he understood the concept we were teaching. I have been trying to learn Chinese from the students too, and they enjoy laughing at how I pronounce the words. Mom, you were so right about all the different little necessities you said I should bring along. I am really going to miss everyone here when we leave. Each of my students are so special to me, and I am going to miss being with them! I am also going to miss my assistant teacher Lynn, because she has been amazing and a great friend. I will miss shopping at the market with Lynn. Nancy, who is one of my students who is 11 years old, helped me as I bargained for some amazing gifts. I have been able to eat lunch with her this week and that has been so much fun! It has been amazing being here!
