"Big Butterfly, Big Butterfly, Grass Field, Grass Field, Activity Room..." The children excitedly called out as they watched a photo of the school projected by Grandpa Kee Yee; when a photo of a Grandpa or a Grandma or a Grandpa appeared, which they were familiar with, there was another round of cheers, and the activity was heated up by the children's shouts.
The activities to honor the elderly originally scheduled for the 9th day of the 9th lunar month were postponed due to dengue fever spraying, which was really a case of planning not being able to keep up with the changes.
The first time I organized the Chung Yeung activities to honor the elderly, my mind is blank, teachers refer to the government and civil Chung Yeung activities, most of the practice is to give out money to honor the elderly, or to organize tables, but ~ this is not what we want, and we can not afford it. Let's try harder... Harder... A few cobblers really squeezed out some ideas, and we divided the work amongst ourselves.
On that day, 28 people signed up to participate and 27 attended, a 100% attendance rate. The most touching part of the event was that the two grandfathers of Edison Kuo Tzu-chieh, who are 97 and 85 years old, also came to participate, and at 97 years old, the grandfathers were able to move around on their own, which is really a blessing for their grandchildren. There were also Grandpa and Grandma Li-Ze, who came all the way from Taipei, and Grandpa Xiang Yi, who came all the way from Kaohsiung. We all cherished the time we had to gather with our grandchildren.
At the beginning of the event, the elders were invited to sit in front of the stage, and some of them were not accustomed to it and were embarrassed. They received tea, pounding and hugs from their grandchildren, especially the hugs, which were so beautiful that it touched the hearts of grandparents and grandchildren. The embrace was so touching that it lasted for a long time.
Activity footage, invited the enthusiastic Kee Yee grandfather, he went to the park every day to take pictures of the campus, made a video file to play, taking pictures and making music, great job, thanks to him; Guess who I am, collect grandparents' photos, made into a video file, the beauty of the shortcomings is that the people in the video and the elders who attended a lot of different, even if it is their own grandchildren or some of them are still unrecognizable. And Yujie. Yujie and Yuji's mother wore the same clothes as in the photo that day, so she was easily recognized; the one with the loudest shouts was the one of Cheng Han's grandpa and his mother, because his mother is a regular visitor to the kindergarten, who picks up her grandchildren after school and goes into the kindergarten to share with the children and teachers in the activity room or in the big butterfly, and with her grandchildren's two and a half years at the kindergarten, the children at the kindergarten all know her. At the end of the event, the director presented apples, a symbol of peace, to the elders present, with a card saying, "Gray hair is the crown of honor, which can only be won on the path of justice. I wish you health, happiness and longevity".
If you have a heart, you won't be tired; if you have feelings, you won't be far away ......
Thursday's Halloween event was not originally planned, but due to the suggestions and requests of the older children, we decided to go along with the children's wishes, but not to go out to trick-or-treat. The main theme of the event was a runway show, which was not difficult for the children, as they walked confidently on the catwalk and showed off their role-play.
Parents of Wai Kwan prepared a candy for each of them; our back door neighbor, Happy Ocean Foods, also sent Halloween handmade cookies, and the class brought their own candies to exchange. Although they did not go out to ask for candies, the children enjoyed the activities and had a happy Halloween.
I wish you all a wonderful holiday.
