Sports Day!

This Saturday, my school hosted its annual Sports Day to celebrate its 75th birthday!  It was the hottest day we've had in a while and we were all hot, sweaty and exhausted by the end of the morning.

There were lots of awards presented, games played, and popsicles consumed.  The kids had been practicing all week for their performances and competitions, they looked so cute in their costumes.  I also met a lot of my kids' parents, which is always interesting!

Here are some pictures from the morning!  There's a lot more in my Picasa album, so ch-ch-check it out!

4th grade drumming performance.  My school's really big on music.

All the students at Gu Ting!

I'm not sure what this number was... Two 4th grade girls and a group of middle-aged women danced to Aqua's 1990s hit "Barbie Girl"

The older grades ran food and game tables as class fundraisers

The 6th grade 3-legged race competition was fierce!

And here are some portraits of my babies

This is Mr. Milk.  He's the one responsible for all the awesome drawings ("Christmas Gaiety")

An interesting point of difference between Taiwanese and American schools:  you will not get in trouble if you bring a toy gun to school in Taiwan.  All children also have boxcutters.
