(May you become prosperous)
In recent weeks the relationship between the USA and China has been lukewarm… but at FFF, China was the hot topic this week chez les coquelicots (our pre Kindergartens).
Since 2010 is the year of the tiger, we studied all about the ferocious animal, made an orange Chinese lantern with stripes using paint and strings. A bilingual (French / English) Bentley High School student came to our class for a Chinese lesson. She taught us how to count from one to five and important words like merci, comment, ça va, formidable. Only French and Chinese were used that day. The week long unit ended with a Chinese potluck provided by parents.
Xièxie!
