Chinese Storytelling

Just a reminder that Chinese Storytelling is tomorrow night, Wednesday, September 30 at 7:00 pm in the Children's Dragon Rug area. A local woman from China, named River Yang, and I (Dana McMurray) began talking a month or so ago, and this idea just emerged naturally from those conversations. Missoula has a lot of families with children from China (there is even a group in Missoula called Familes with Children from China, FCC). Some of these families would like their children to have the opportunity to learn to speak Chinese and some of these families would just like their children to be exposed to Chinese culture in many different ways--language being just one. This will not be a teaching class, but a fun way to hear Chinese spoken and translated as we read picture books to our kids.
River will read a page or two in Chinese and then I will read the same page or two in English. We may switch the order from time to time. As always there will be the chance for the children to ask questions, make comments, and interact with the stories. And, as always, there will likely be songs and craft activities. See you there.
