Children enjoyed the Easter fun activities like cardboard Easter egg hunting, treasure hunt for older children and Easter Egg crafts.
Some of them made funky aliens (外星人 wài xīng rén) and some made flowers (花 huā).
The school is closed for the next two weeks! Wish everyone a very happy Easter holiday and see you in two weeks!

Chinese Studies for kids and teens. Our school has been approved as the Overseas Compatriot School from the Department of Foreign Affairs in Taiwan. The advantage of our text books is that they include both Traditional and Simplified Chinese characters as well as both zhu yin and pinyin phonetics system to help our young learners to master the language. I've always wished my children could learn both systems and these books turn my dream into reality!

母 親 節 快 樂 mǔ qīn jié kuài lè (Happy Mother's day)
I would like to wish all the moms in the world to have a very lovely mother's day this Sunday.
It's the tradition in Taiwan that we give moms either handmade or fresh carnation flowers on mother's day although like in the USA, Taiwanese celebrate Mother's day on the 2nd Sunday of May.
Here're some cards children made for the moms.

The busy March!
The birthdays, mother's day, St. Patrick's day and the up coming early Easter holiday will lead us a very busy March!
We are very much looking forward to some spring activities like making mother's day card, St. Patrick's day arts, Easter egg hunt and learning the Chinese names of some spring flowers! What more? Perhaps we will involve the children with planting the vegetable garden!
