Kindy Graduation Rehearsal

Graduation is a BIG deal. Apparently, careers are made or broken by the children's performances. Luckily, I've been paired with a teacher as clueless as myself in the process: Teacher Lea of the Zebra class. Our classes are both Xiaoban (Young Class) which means they are about three and four years old. This translates to standing and staring like deer in headlights. They are doing better and they can sing now, but they have some problems with moving to the front and then going back at the right time.

Today we practiced at the venue, a non-air-conditioned school auditorium, where we were expected to keep the children quiet for an hour until they could spend five minutes performing. It was lots of fun! It came off pretty well, but some of the children forgot what they were doing and focused on waving to their friends in the crowd.

One more week of practice and then we're going for the gold. May they remember their parts...
