Tiananmen APEC deco & Grade 1, 11/6/14

I have early classes today, and they go well. Afterward, I finished up some work and prepared for next week’s lessons, killing time till lunch. After lunch, I took the bus over to Tiananmen Square to check out the decorations for APEC. The Chinese really know how to put on a big display! The skies are so clear, due to the city government planning to shut everything down and get everyone out of town to reduce pollution. It’s working. They are calling the skies “APEC blue”.

This building always intrigues me, and the skies were so blue!

Judy has her Grade 1 class performing at the assembly today. They did a great job. She was really impressed at how organized the assembly was. “One of the best”! The Grade 1 teachers had it figured out! There were many costume and stage changes and transitions, and the pace flowed seamlessly. That’s not easy with 1st graders.
