I want to thank you to every teacher for giving me this opportunity to be the teacher’s assistant this summer. I enjoyed all the classes. I would love to be a TA for the next season. I enjoy learning about Chinese histories such as poetry, idiom story, as well as paper cutting and reading and writing using Chinese characters. Thank you again!”

Something that was interesting for me was being able to see the students' engagement in this course and the energy that they bring to class. I also enjoyed being able to somewhat learn along with the kids since there were many things I had never learned, especially in the ancient poetry class. It was fun to be a part of this and be a TA for this course.”

To the teachers: thank you all so much! Not only could I see that you put your all into teaching the students and creating the best, most interesting content possible, but you also tried to incorporate me into the classroom to give me a learning experience as well. Whether that be sharing what I’ve made or leading the students when reading a poem, I felt both included and connected. All the teachers were wonderful!
To Ms. Cao, I loved your stories and how inspiring they were—and more importantly how each story alluded to a deeper lesson and issue in society.
To Ms. Zhang, thank you for your hilarious, historically significant, and motivating idioms, some of which I haven’t even seen before.
To Ms. Chen, the poems you taught us were very interesting, many of which painted beautiful scenes in our heads. I especially liked the poems sang as songs!
To Ms. Li, the paper cutting class you taught was awesome! I really got to use my creativity and have some “art time” every Thursday, which was calming and therapeutic. Getting to share my work was also great! ”
