Ally's Column of Randomness: Julyness of Life
Hey everyone! It's been a while since I've posted, and I'm sorry! Lots has happened though.
I had just finished being an aide for a Chinese summer program called Hip Wah! I was an aide for Hip Wah 2, or HWII. My boss was non other than my dad, and my co-aide was my friend.
Now, let me explain something. Each group of kids is a zodiac animal, like the rats, oxen, tigers, etc. There are seven classes, including HWII and HWIII. Each one is for a grade level. For example, this year, the Dragons class is going to sixth grade this year. So in Hip Wah, they will be in HWII. Each class is different. For example, in HWII, you cook, eat, watch movies, help make a magazine, and trace art. And in HWIII, you go visit different places where Asians work, and learn more about jobs. It's really fun!
Besides your regular class, you have calligraphy and brush painting for 1-5 graders, OCA (lion dancing and kung fu) for 1-5, and Instrumental music for 4-7, and vocal music for 1-3. And recess of course!
The experience was a thrill, I've got to admit! All of my kids were sweet, and awesome, though some were a little on the hyper side, but still. They were cool, and if I come back next year, I'll miss having that class.
But OH we made deliciousness! We made mandarin orange salad with caramelized almonds, almond and vanilla jello, cha siu chow fun, designer teem gok, pagoda fruit crisps, foil wrapped chicken, shrimp tofu, fried wonton, bow ties, and shrimp chips. All were delicious :) if you want any of these recipes, email me at ask414@yahoo.com, and post a comment, and I'll give you the recipe of how we made it! Remember, you're in charge of putting how much you want in there, and the recipe is like a guideline! Enjoy, and hopefully I'll post another column later!
