Chinese School is over for the 2007-2008 school year. Every Saturday we've been going to Winter Park for Chinese School, and the classes are 3 hours long! The children study the Chinese language in different grades for 2 hours, and then they are in a cultural class for 1 hour.
Anuhea has been in the 7th Grade Chinese class, and took 3-D Origami (for the culutural class).
Nalani has been in the 5th Grade Chinese class, and took Martial Arts.
Hokulani has been in the Kindergarten Chinese class, and took Chinese Folk Dance.
Since it was the last day today, the classes were only 1 hour long, and then there was a closing ceremony with performances and awards.
In this picture Hokulani received the 2nd place academic award for her Kindergarten class. We thought that was great, but so funny, because she knows less Chinese than her older sisters and they didn't get anything.
This is a picture of Hokulani's trophy. She was so excited to receive it--very proud.
This is the Chinese School Principal, Conchita Hsu.
The children were all seated and waiting for the ceremony to begin. Can you see Anuhea, Nalani, and Hokulani? Anuhea is in the middle left, wearing a white or yellow shirt. Nalani is next to her on the right (or it may look like the top). Hokulani is more to the right of Anuhea, wearing purple and has pigtails in her hair.
Here's a broader view of the waiting audience.
Hokulani's Folk Dance class performed a dance called Village Girl. Their teacher is Salinda Chen. Hokulani's in the purple outfit in the front row.
