Phoenix Chinese Christian Church Chinese School celebrates the New Year Phoenix Fengming Says goodbye to the fast-paced Year of the Horse and welcomes the proud Year of the Sheep. The teachers and students of the Phoenix Chinese Christian Church Chinese School started a special teaching activity to celebrate the New Year of the Sheep at 1:30 pm on February 22, 2015 in the east parking lot of the church. Amidst the deafening sound of gongs and drums, the lion dance kicked off, and a large black-and-white lion was seen. It opened its teeth and claws, and pressed forward step by step amidst the sound of gongs and drums. The lion dancer may be a novice. Teacher Wu Ying was on the side to guide. In just three or five minutes, when the gongs and drums sounded, After the dance stopped, the two students of the black lion dance took off their lion decorations and revealed their true colors. They turned out to be two students who were sweating profusely and panting. Thank you to these caring classmates for bringing joy to the students. During the intense study, they took the time to practice hard and showed their sincere dedication and dedication. Everyone rewarded them with enthusiastic applause. Next was the dance performance by the dance class of the Chinese school, starting with the dance "Good Friends" performed by the lower grade students. The cute little students, in pairs, danced on the carpet like little butterflies in the flowers, lifelike and pleasing to the eye, and they enjoyed it. There are also dances such as "Mountain Girl" and "Umbrella Dance". They are all candid and passionate performances by innocent and lively little female students. Applaud the wonderful performances of the children! The last performer was the Chinese martial arts class guided by Teacher Zhang. Four female students and six male students came to the field at the same time. They were all wearing white T-shirts and black pants, and they performed uniform and arrogant boxing skills and powerful steps. Then they came back to the field two by two, performing their own special boxing routines. They (she) are all fans of Chinese martial arts. They have practiced good kung fu since they were young. They can strengthen their bodies and contribute to society when they grow up. After the performance, the students from lower grades to senior grades lined up to receive the fried dumplings and rice cakes carefully prepared for them by the teachers. These two foods are necessary for the traditional Chinese New Year. At the beginning of the first day of the first month of the lunar calendar, eating dumplings means "Gengsui Jiaozi", "zi" means "Zi Shi", and "Jiao" is a homophone for "dumplings", which means "happy reunion" and "good luck". Nian Gao It is a traditional food during the New Year in East Asia. Rice cake is homophonic to "niangao", which means that the income, position or knowledge and height of the children are getting higher and higher year by year. The elders of the Evergreen Fellowship also send them red envelopes. They watch the little students running up to their grandparents with joy and laughter, shouting loudly or quietly: Happy New Year from the bottom of my heart! I was happy and said a sweet Happy New Year to my grandparents. It was really sweet in my heart. These children who grew up in the church are polite, caring and love the Lord. They are the hope. The students happily ate fried dumplings and rice cakes, filled their pockets with red envelopes, whispered to each other, and jumped back to their classrooms to conduct special teaching activities for the next period. I took the camera to the activity room on the second floor. The special teaching activities in the classroom had already begun. A female student from Class 7 of Simplified Chinese was giving a lecture on "Explanation of Customs". Next was "Say Lucky Words on Numbers" from Class 6 of Simplified Chinese, and the pipa solo "Send Me a Rose" by Wei Yuchen from Class 6 of Simplified Chinese. , Ren Shanshan, a classmate of Simplified Chinese Class 6, introduced the "Spring Festival Customs". From the 23rd of the twelfth lunar month to the first day of the first lunar month, "Monkey Fishing for the Moon" in Simplified Chinese Class 4 and "Bionics" in Simplified Chinese Class 8. "The Four Beauties of Ancient China" performed by the AP Chinese class. All the programs revolved around the elements of the Chinese New Year. The students all performed vividly and integrated the knowledge they usually learned into the program. Later, I went to several other classrooms to interview. Some were telling stories about the Year of the Sheep, some were doing crafts, and some were painting. The Chinese class on this day was a colorful, unique and special class for the students. The Chinese School of Fengcheng Chinese Christian Church has held special Spring Festival teaching activities for many years. The organizers are very smart and the activities are compact and orderly. After the cultural program, the classes are divided into junior classes, intermediate classes, and advanced classes. Each grade has teaching activities related to the New Year. In the advanced class, there is also "Introduction and riddle guessing of hundreds of Chinese philosophers". Through this special Spring Festival teaching activity, students learned the traditional culture of the Chinese nation and the significance of national folk customs in joy. This is a meaningful and successful special teaching activity. I hope they will continue to work hard to make it better and more exciting!
