In the next few days, our volunteer teachers continued to lead the “More Reading, More Happiness” activity.\u00a0 When teacher Li-Zhen led the reading group, she tried to let the children read the story first. \u00a0The teacher hided the title and the text of the storybook so that students could only see the pictures and use their imagination. Observing the children’s enthusiastic ideas and creative answers, we couldn\u2019t help laughing.<\/p>

Teacher Li-Zhen asked, \u201cSeeing these little mice carrying their backpacks, where are they going?\u201d<\/p>

A child answered, \u201cThey are going to camping!\u201d<\/p>

Other children echoed, \u201cYeah! They are going camping, “<\/p>

(In Tibetan, “playing Bazi” meant that the entire family was going to camping on green grass, putting up a white tent, sang folk songs\/Tibetan opera, relax and have fun.)<\/p>

And the teacher asked, \u201cAre you sure? Take a closer look. Do you have any different ideas?\u201d<\/p>

The children shook their heads and said no.<\/p>

Then, the teacher slowly showed the book title. \u00a0It turned out to be “Seven Rats Going to School”!<\/p>

The children\u2019s answer made all our volunteer teachers laugh. The teachers are all from Taiwan and Shanghai and we never thought that all the children would guess that these little mice were going to play instead of going to school. \u00a0However, doesn\u2019t this also reflect that background and environment does have a great impact on children’s cognition?<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

After reading for a long time, teachers were worried that the children would feel tedious. Therefore, we lead the children to play some games, and move their bodies. When playing radish squatting the children were excited and when the speed got faster and faster, they were even happier. This time, volunteer teachers brought a board game specially from Taiwan to play with the children.\u00a0 Through the game, we want to train the children\u2019s reactions and understanding.\u00a0 Children throw themselves into the game and made the class full of laugher and screams.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

In order to cultivate children’s ability of outline, abstract, and integrate, the volunteer teacher taught children to make little books. \u00a0In this small four-page book, children would express one of the storybooks they read in short sentences and pictures. This not only allowed children to develop their imagination, but also trained them in their logical integration. \u00a0Some children emerged in serious thinking, some first conceive three sentences on each page on the paper, and some try hard to draw. \u00a0Their focused and attentive look was a beautiful picture.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Time flies quickly, and “More Reading, More Happiness ” reading activity was coming to an end. \u00a0Volunteer teachers taught children to make wish cards, and then asked them to come on stage to share their wishes.\u00a0 Some children wanted to be on the moon; some want to be superman; some want to be doctors; some want to be police; and some want to be with their family forever. \u00a0Listening to their wishes, we were very touched and we silently hoped that their wishes would be fulfilled.\u00a0 Teacher Yi-Ting who led this class also drew a wish card herself, hoping to come here again next year. The teacher talked about her hope and burst into tears. \u00a0Finally, we finished the reading activity with children’s singing, laughing, and blessing.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

On the way back, what lingered in our hearts were all the children’s expressions of serious thinking and dedication.\u00a0 Although in the remote Ganzi region, where physical conditions could not be compared with that in the big cities, the innocence and kindness of these children deeply touched us.\u00a0 Through these diversified activities in the past few days, I sincerely hoped that children can find the most original motivation for learning.\u00a0 Whether it was origami, painting, labor, reading or games, they would be inspired to feel appreciation for beauty, creativity, and life, then gradually develop the interest for learning.\u00a0 Wishing these past few days have planted a small seed in all of them and when they grow up, these seeds will be able to germinate in their lives, thrive and grow!<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
