Last week I had a chance to go sit in on my aunt’s grade 6 classroom at Sacred Heart school in Moose Jaw. To my surprise (and her enjoyment) when the students came in the room she announced that I would teach them for the afternoon. She laughed and said “Kari lived in China for two years, why don’t you ask her some questions” To my surprise they all put up their hands in excitement! They were really interested in my experience and had so many questions to ask. After awhile she had me teach them some Chinese characters and they loved it. I was really impressed by her students. They seemed so well behaved, and although they became quite energetic and chatty at times, they knew when to behave. It was neat to see my aunty “in action”, teaching, and I think it was cool for her too. We are the only teachers in our big family so it’s nice to have someone to talk to that understands my passion for teaching. When I got home that night, my roommate said she hadn’t seen me that happy in a long time…….. woop woop
