"We Ball! Enough said!"

Today was career day and fashion/talent show at the school so our session had to be split up throughout the day. This turned out to be a benefit as we got to see how the school works during events. It was fun to still be able to get our lesson in while seeing the school function. Mrs. Wilkerson was a big part in the organization of career day so Lauren and I had a big job in taking care of “our class” in her absence. While our project focus is mostly teaching Chinese culture and language, we have immersed ourselves in the school’s culture and it almost feels like we have really become teachers – and more than just an afternoon activity. I can feel the students becoming more comfortable with us and certainly aren’t afraid to show it. We are working hard on making sure everything is organized for the performance and the students have been teaching themselves through research and are all completely done writing their speaking parts and are now memorizing their parts. Hearing the students integrate our lessons excites me!
