Day 9 Last Day

Can't believe it's the last day of our camp already! Time does fly when we really enjoy it, doesn't it? We hope the students had a good time, as much as we did! On the last day of our camp, instead of putting up a performance show, we decided to treat the students a cartoon movie party! They have been working really hard in the past two weeks, busy learning Chinese numbers, characters, making crafts, drawing pictures, practicing gong-fu daily and tasting authentic Chinese food often. ; ) They deserve it! Besides, the movie will be all in Chinese, the background music, the picture and the story......It was a classic masterpiece in the Chinese cartoon movie history.

Here is the online link to this movie, for some of you who, unfortunately, couldn't make it to our last day of camp.  Also, for all, please feel free to review it with your children at home or watch it yourself at your convenience. ^_^
