Dear friends,
My school, Hua Shan Elementary School, has a partnership with a local 7-11 that lets students buy slurpees at a discount as long as they speak English with the clerk. Me, Chia-Ling, & Ashley, all went to school today (a Saturday) to teach students and even some parents how to buy a slurpee in English. We played various games when teaching the dialog and new vocabulary words. The students were mostly from grades 3, 4, 5, and 6. When we arrived at 7-11, I stood next to the cashier and the students spoke English with me and then bought their slurpees with the "real" cashier.

Do you see me wearing the 7-11 uniform?

We did a little "cheers" and then played "7-Up, Heads Up" outside 7-11 before heading back to the school. It was a good activity for students to use English and it was a good day to drink a slurpee =D.
