After the children had given them to Dinah, Dinah looked at the gifts in front of her and asked Ju An, "Didn't you see what gifts you prepared for mom?".
After hearing this, my mother immediately waved her hands and said: "I am so old, what gift do I want!".
Ju An laughed loudly and snapped his fingers at Wang Fan: "Let's go get the gifts." After a while, Ju An and Wang Fan each walked out holding a box. Ju An prepared a box and put it on the sofa.
On top of the massage mat, Wang Fan prepared a foot massager.
My mother accepted the gift with a smile and praised it repeatedly: "Why did you buy this thing? You won't use it. What a waste of money." The expression on her face showed no blame at all.
When Cora walked in with Xiaohu, Ju An asked in passing. Sure enough, it was the same as what Xiaochi gave, a Mother's Day gift of a cup of tea, a photo sticker, and a greeting card drawn by herself. Lao Mei is here
Mother's Day is very grand, but Father's Day is much less important. Ju'an always accepts it
I got a few cards, and then I received two coupons from Yatou last year. When using them, Yatou cut corners, and the five-minute massage was always shortened to two minutes. It made Ju An think that if Yatou grows up, she will get one
No matter what kind of project, with this hand, my little life can be very comfortable.
The days that followed were easy. I had nothing to do, so I followed Wang Fan and Miles, found a place to chat, or rode a horse or something, and practiced calf roping for hours every morning and afternoon.
In the afternoon, Ju An drove the car, took Dinah, Cora and Wang Fan, and the two families went to the primary school in the town. The two children, Xiao Chi and Xiao Hu, were in moral education class today. This kind of thing was naturally a problem.
Both families were mobilized.
Now the two children, Xiaochi and Xiaohu, have not yet taken formal exams. They learn all day long in school how to wear shoes, tie bags, go to the toilet, how to prepare meals, etc. Children at this stage
, the school believes that learning how to study and how to behave is more important than exams and scores.
.So don’t be surprised when you hear the school boasting that we have taught children how to abide by teachers’ rules, how to let children learn to get along with others, and taught children a lot of things like dressing up, because at this age
Children, this is the only thing taught in American schools and nothing else.
The U.S. economy is currently in recession, and school funding has been reduced a lot. However, the town of Ju'an is almost non-reliant on funding. Most of the education funding comes from the town's funding, as well as from nearby residents.
The donation did not appear anywhere else. The matter of cutting physical education classes and cutting teachers is said to be a problem in some urban education in California.
Funds have been cut by millions of dollars, and some schools even have principals standing at the school gates with donation boxes to collect donations, calling on parents of students to donate money for their children to attend physical education classes. According to the mayor of this small town last year, our school
Thirty-five percent of the town's income is invested in education. Our school facilities are top-notch in Montana and first-class in the United States.
When the two families arrived at the school, they saw many students and their parents driving over in their cars. Everyone was gathered around the playground. The playground was beautifully decorated today, with colorful balloons everywhere. When they walked to the playground, they looked around for a while.
The children found the class location of Xiaochi and Xiaohu. The two little people were sitting on the small bench listening to their teacher talking. Dinah and Cora immediately clicked the shutter to capture the expressions of the two children.
Recorded it.
Standing in a circle of parents, Ju An listened to the teacher for a while and then understood that this activity is mainly to cultivate children's five characters, trust, responsibility, fairness, respect and citizenship.
Dinah and Cora turned the camera on the two children, while Wang Fan and Ju An turned their heads and looked around, chatting while watching. Wang Fan said to Ju An: "Okay! This family is old.
"All the little ones are out." Wang Fan has never been to a school before and doesn't know about these school activities. Americans basically come with their whole families. He is looking at the parents with their children around in curiosity, just sitting on the grass casually.
superior.
Ju An reached out and patted Wang Fan on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Xiaohu is going to school now. Don't worry, you will come often in the future. Now that you are so familiar with Di Nini's school, I can almost catch up with the pasture."
There were not only parents of children on the entire playground, but also many high school student volunteers who posted signs and were busy helping to decorate the venue.
Xiaochi and Xiaohu's teacher talked for a while, then took the children and stood up from their small chairs. Then each child started to look for his or her parents.
The teacher clapped his hands to a group of people, arousing everyone's ideas: "Now our activities have begun. The first thing we do is trust." After saying that, he brought a stick of people of all sizes to a colorful
There were several large cardboard boxes on a small piece of grass surrounded by ropes. There were six or seven children in one class. When they arrived at the edge of the field and waited for a short while, they saw another teacher leading students and
Parents come over.
The two classes got together and started playing the game. The game was actually very simple! The children in one class were blindfolded first, and the children in the other class held hands and led them through the cardboard boxes.
Create an obstacle and reach the opposite side. Then another group of people is replaced, and the children on both sides are blindfolded and it is over.
The parents were standing outside the colorful line nearby, watching the little ones playing. Ju An was watching Xiao Chi, who was being led by a brown-haired girl. At first, he stretched out his hand to touch it, and then slowly walked forward.
, after getting familiar with it, the pace increased, and all the children successfully passed the level. It is abnormal to fail such a simple game.
The teachers praised all the children, and then gave each child a small blue hand rope, and asked the parents to tie the hand rope to the children's little wrists. Xiaochi and Xiaohu were very excited and ran with the hand rope.
Ju An ran over, and it was now up to Ju An and Wang Fan to take photos of the two little champions who wanted their mother to tie their bracelets.
The next step is respect. The children each pull a small car, and then follow the teacher's rules to get around the obstacles in the middle of the field. There are three big toys in the middle. The rule is that everyone pulls the small car and goes around the three toys in a circle.
, everyone has to go around, this game cultivates children's respect for games
The rules of the game are that seven little guys have fun dragging cars of seven colors. Either this car bumps into that car, or the two cars get mixed together, and the parents and teachers next to them have to worry about it from time to time.
He ran into the field with a big smile and helped the children separate the cars.
But the next game is a bit unclear to Ju An. The fair activity is actually a circle making game. For example, when Ju An was a child during festivals or going to the market, someone would display small toys and ask you to make as many circles as you wanted for one dollar.
It's the kind of set, but here it is a large cone with colorful stripes painted on all sides. The circle is also very large, and the little kid is very close, so it is easy to complete. Ju An thought for a long time,
I didn't realize there was any connection between fairness and fairness.
The game was over, and Ju An still hadn't figured it out yet, so he turned to Wang Fan and said, "How is this trap related to fairness?".
"What's so bad about this? Every child holds a circle of the same size and stands behind the white line. Each child sets three circles. Regardless of whether he or she wins, it's not fair that only three are successful.
Ah," Wang Fan said as he looked at it.
Ju An thought for a moment and then said: "Your reason is quite valid. This trap can also be related to fairness, so forget it."
Ju An and his wife were muttering as they followed Dinah and Cora, who were holding their sons' little hands, and walked towards another venue.
The next step is responsibility. In the middle of a field surrounded by cloth strips are randomly placed small balls of some colors. The children have to put these small balls into the corresponding boxes on the side. Now Ju An's IQ is back.
, this is to educate children not to leave toys lying around and learn to tidy up their own toys.
A group of children finished it quickly, and after a while, there was another small colored bracelet on their little wrists.
The last item is citizen awareness, which is two children facing each other to catch water balloons. Some water is filled in the small balloon. If the ball is caught too hard, the ball will break. Of course, if the ball cannot be caught, it will break. This
Something happened next. Many children started to like playing with broken water polo. Everyone basically broke three or four of them. Ju An and Dinah happily beat them and took pictures.
After each child finished the game, there were five small colorful bracelets on his little wrist, which fully expressed Mr. Bush's theme of "no one left behind", that every child is a champion.
When it was over, Ju An knew how great he was. The principal of the school praised the school's student counselor. This position is unique to American schools. Seeing this student, who is older than Nini, go on stage to express his thanks, you really can't believe it.
This whole event was organized and planned by this short primary school student, and the balloons and everything were sponsored by many businesses. I have to say that such a big little thing is really impressive.
Ju An also followed everyone below and gave this little consultant warm applause. You have to admire that from thinking about game projects at a young age, to soliciting sponsorship, and then organizing the activities at the beginning, they were all completed by a group of older children.
.The adults are only responsible for helping. This group of children can plan an event single-handedly. These children are at most eleven or twelve years old.
Even Wang Fan applauded and said to Ju An: "That's amazing."
"I know why Nini directly contacted her visiting project without me," Ju An said, clapped his hands. It is this kind of education that allows children to plan and think about things on their own, and then plan and organize people, and then each does his own thing.
Career, achieve goals. No wonder one of the outstanding students in the United States is leadership. (To be continued.)
