Last Friday was Cultural Day for Sara's grade. She chose to represent China, which proved to be a very interesting choice. Part of the assignment was to write a mini-research report about your country. It was very eye-opening to learn how little Sara knew about China. We were very aware that she had never traveled out of her city, much less very far from the walls of her orphanage, but for her to read about Chinese traditions and landmarks for the first time - WOW! She is very intriqued by this big thing called "The Great Wall". She can not wait to go to China someday and see it. She feels a bit "cheated" never having celebrated a Chinese New Year or seen a Chinese Dragon dance, ect, ect, ect. She wants to "experience" China. We can not wait to give her that opportunity, especially since we have given it to our other children already.
Sara also had to make a poster and give an oral report. These were both first for her. She enjoyed both of them very much. She is doing great in school.
