Penny toss and find the ping-pong ball
"Buying" prizes and pinning the tail
This short week has flown by. On Monday while I was at the conference the students reviewed for their Chinese language final exam, and began to learn the program that they would give for today's good-bye program. Tuesday they took their comprehensive exam, and most of the students did well. The top score on the exam was Keith's, with several others only a point of two behind.
Then yesterday the students took the final exam on the book that we have been reading and discussing over the last 6 weeks. I think I will correct those on the way home, since I still have a lot to do before we leave tomorrow night. The students also surprised me with a small cake and thank you notes, which I will read on the train tomorrow. I was very touched by the surprise. This group also wrote thank you notes to all their teachers!
Yesterday morning, we finally had our "party" for some of the friends we have made over the last weeks, including some host brothers and sisters, the students who have met with us each morning over the last couple of weeks, and the new group of Saugus-bound students. Our group organized all kinds of "carnival" games (penny toss, "bowling", pin the tail on the bird, shooting a bow and arrow (with suction cups on the ends), follow the hidden pingpong ball, etc. Our guests earned tickets that they were able to trade for the prizes that we had all brought. We also served cookies and coke. The students who will be leaving for Saugus in a couple of weeks also entertained us. :) Everyone seemed to have a great time, and I was proud of the what our students did!
Then yesterday in class our group again practiced today's peroformance and had their last handcraft class. Everyone was able to finish his or her project. Then we put the classroom back in orderbefore heading home.
