We hope everyone has enjoyed November and is ready for December, the last month of the year.
As the year progresses, we pick up momentum in our activities and the agenda for the rest of the year follow:
- Bamboo savings box
- Dec. 3: Jing-Si Aphorism drawing and writing contest
- Dec. 10: Teaching demonstration
- Dec. 17th: Mid-term examination
1. Bamboo savings box
The main purpose of this exercise is to practice one of Master Cheng-Yen's teaching, that "drops of water make lakes, grains of sand build castles; small change makes big charity and hard work builds big success."
The pennies saved in the bamboo box will bring significant relief for those in need.
2. Jing-Si Aphorism drawing and writing contest (for all grades in the school)
Same as every semester, we have various contests going in the school, and I would like to post your works on our blog after each contest. So, do your best and come check out everyone's masterpieces!
3. The teaching demonstration
We have teaching demonstration for different grades to present to teachers and parents who are interested. Our class will present our demo on Dec. 10. It usually takes 30-40 minutes and we will present how we teach through Master Cheng-Yen's Jing-Si Aphorism. We welcome your participation and comments.
4. Mid-term examation
An examination will be held on Dec. 17, it will cover both writing and speaking. This is a good opportunity for us to gauge how much we have learned and progressed this year. Let's do our best and test ourselves. Good luck to everyone!
