On Thursday, October 28, 2010 we were hosts to our first Mystery Guest of the year. Our thirty students had three minutes to find out why Emily was at our school. In those three minutes they could only ask Emily yes or no questions. Our students quickly guessed Emily was with us to teach us about China so then they tried to narrow down the focus of her visit. They asked, "Are you here to teach us about the Great Wall?" "Are you here to teach us about Chinese culture?" After the three minutes were up, Emily shared an informative power point presentation on life in China, its history and its culture. Following the whole group presentation Emily taught two smaller groups of students the art of Chinese calligraphy. It's trickier than it looks to hold the brush the correct way and to keep the point on the tip of your brush!
