The girls spent the morning of Father's Day at their Chinese school graduation ceremony. There were performances from each class along with a display of their interpretation on how to conserve and be "green". Students performed tai chi, modern dance, singing, tae kwon do, played instruments, traditional dance, etc. Awards were passed out to students who have taken Chinese for ten years, which is an outstanding commitment and accomplishment - dedication and devotion from the students, parents and teachers!
Ashley miraculously completed her kindergarten Chinese class. Luckily, she was allowed to attend class as a preschooler, but she was definitely faced with challenging tests and homework. Determined, she hung on and completed the course with a good grade. Now she just needs to keep up the summer Chinese homework. Yes, every student received a summer packet, a workbook and a book to read during the summer time in order to retain what was taught in class.
On the other hand, Alisha kept up with her homework during her illness. She is an amazing kid. Chinese was always a piece of cake for her and she hardly ask for any help. Although she missed 8 out of 9 months of class, she still scored a 99% on her final. We were all very impressed with her achievement.
After the ceremony, they enjoyed eating and playing at Chuck E. Cheese's with Dad.
Yay, you finally updated you blog, Amy! Ashley was definitely amazing. Give lots of credit to Ashley. She hardly asks any questions, and yet she ALWAYS does well on her tests! The girls look so happy with their dad here. :) :) :)
