Preschool JO

We survived! 45 students, no English, 1 confused little boy
2 days behind us now
day 1 was a bit overwhelming, but day 2 was a Super Success! A delight! As you can see :)
We are so proud of you JO!
For the past week he has been running around practicing his first Chinese sentence "ta bu yao" which means "he doesn't want" bc that is what he hears others say about him getting his face touched. it cracks us up. after the first day of preschool he learned "jia you" which means "add oil"- it is their cheer- their only cheer- it means keep going....
he was the king of the dancing exercises :)

this little girl was his "dance partner"




















yup, he's cute sitting at his seat...but please check out how they go potty- in a bucket in the back



at one point he was suppose to be listening to the teacher but instead him and this little girl were so cute playing together at the table, talking about something

this is something- they are returning from "wash hands time" they don't really "line up" here




















here is a video of Jo dancin away- i can't really get my videos up on blogger so i'm trying youtube, hope it works ok. dancin is definitely his international language :)

Look at him!! He is a social butterfly...don't know where he gets that from! :) I loved it, so precious. Looks like he is doing just fine. :)

Great to see this post. We're hoping to put Isaac in a Mandarin-speaking preschool (even though the predominate language spoken isn't Mandarin) Love that jo-jo likes it! Post more updates about it...especially about language!

Jo!!! It looks like you have a wonderful preschool class!!! Since I used to be a preschool teacher, I was really checking out all the "stuff" in the room!!! You are such a good dancer too!!! We are so glad you are making new friends and having so much fun!!! We love you!!!
