Chinese Program

I have mentioned it a lot here before, but I absolutely LOVE Ashlyn's new school.  We have been so pleased with it this far.  It is so different from her old school in many positive ways.  She loves going there and has made a lot of new friends there.  This Friday she had her first school program.  I was so excited because they never did anything like that at her old school.  They have been learning about China, so the presentation was all about China.  Ashlyn wasn't shy at all and was quite the little performer.  Some kids were too embarrassed to go up and perform or didn't want to do it.  Not our little star.  She did an awesome job of doing exactly what she was supposed to do.  We are so proud of our princess.  I just can't believe she is already old enough to be in school programs.  Where did my baby go???

They started the program by singing "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star"

They then sang "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star" in Chinese.  I was very impressed with their ability to sing it in Chinese at their age. 

Next they did a very neat dragon dance. 

The kids held onto the paper dragon and moved it up and down.

Ashlyn totally rocked at this.

Look at her go!

After the presentation, it was time to eat.  Her teacher did an amazing job of creating a Chinese feast.  She bought all sorts of authentic Chinese foods for the kids and parents to try.  It was a lot of fun.

The kids made this Chinese soup that was called Ugly Soup.  It was actually pretty tasty. 

Trying a Chinese moon cookie.

It wouldn't be a Chinese feast without a fortune cookie.
