2019.12.28 This year’s perfect ending

 

The autumn and winter classes of 2019 also ended perfectly before the last countdown 3 days of the year!
In the last class of this issue, in addition to introducing the United States,
which was half of the last lecture, the highlight was getting to know the world’s major leaders.
Just last week I talked about women leaders on youtube,so in class, let’s expand our social reach!

First, I quickly reviewed some of the big names I met before.
Yes, everyone remembers the leaders of the United States, Russia, China, North Korea, France,
and Germany…etc. This time, we use the lottery method to draw the national flag first,
and then let the children choose the characters from the cards
(Pokémon board games are very popular recently, I feel that some options such as combat power should be added )
Usually the familiar ones are If you get it right, after about the fourth or fifth group,
you have already guessed it effectively… It doesn’t matter ~ choose first and then!

The newcomers joining this time are:

🇫🇮The latest young Finnish Prime Minister Sanna Marin,

🇳🇿Decisive and caring New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern

🇨🇦 Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau who was caught gossiping accidentally

🇬🇧British Prime Minister Boris Johnson with messy hair or Brexit

🇧🇷 Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro who refuses to put out fires and discriminates against women

🇬🇭 Once a democracy fighter, now the controversial Burmese de facto leader Aung San Suu Kyi

🇸🇽 Talking about anti-drug is not afraid of the now sick Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte

By going back and forth like this, slowly swapping characters into the correct pairing process,
we also got to know more different leaders of different countries.
During this time, we have seen more women take their place internationally!
As the power center of a country, regardless of gender, it is very likely to encounter the same problem,
which is corruption. On the one hand, while vigorously introducing how many women have emerged,
we also mentioned several unfortunate female presidents – the three former presidents of Brazil, South Korea,
and Ukraine all resigned because of corruption cases.

Teacher Lara, what is “corruption”?

So… Now every child is familiar with the Amazon rainforest, and I used it as an example to talk about XD

But one thing I have learned over the years is that people are not black and white.
What a person says or does at different times, angles, positions, and occasions,
sometimes cannot be based on the results alone. Although what we are seeing now is “resignation due to corruption”,
the whole story and the ins and outs of the matter must be more complicated than the general explanation of these six words…

In addition, from the card, we also see the phenomenon of leaders getting younger.
During the process, some children pointed to the Prime Minister of Canada and said,
“This one is relatively young, you see.. There are no wrinkles..”
(then said that Macron is older and has wrinkles! I really don’t understand my mother’s heart~😜)
But it is really full Lovely~ Looking at this group of children, after 10 years,
the world belongs to them, and by then, it may not be surprising to be the president at the age of 30! 😎

At the end of the class, a parent who just returned from Finland
shared with us the fun stories of chasing the Northern Lights in the Arctic Circle, visiting Santa Claus and the Arctic Zoo.
Surprised to see sea otters living in the Arctic!
And every time the snowy owls drawn by the children also let us see the true face of Mount Lu!

Finally, I must thank the parents in the class again,
because of your support and persistence to the children and this class,
we can grow together! Every time I prepare a lesson,
I want to live up to the expectations of children and parents coming to class,
and I also learn a lot 🥰 In 2020, we will continue to know the world together! 🤝😽
