Grant's afterschool Mandarin class



Grant has been taking an extra hour of Mandarin each week afterschool at SAS (Singapore American School). Parents were invited to observe and see a little show yesterday. I was so impressed with the way the class was run, so fun and so amazing how much the kindergartners have leaned this year. The teacher, Mr. Pearson only speaks to the kids in Mandarin-no english is spoken, and I was so amazed that they knew what he was saying and telling them to do. So very cool. They are like little sponges, and Grant has learned soo much. Enjoy this short video of him answering a question (i have no idea what he is saying, but so cute to hear him speaking in Mandarin). :)

Here is a song they sung....so cute.

How precious!!!! What a wonderful experience. Who knows how much that knowing a foreign language will come in handy for him as an adult.
