Sharing at Tapteal Elementary!

My dear friend, Lisa Corning is a 5th grade teacher at Tapteal Elementary. Her class is "traveling aroung the world" and learning various things about each country. She asked if we could come and share with her class about our experience with China. We were sooo excited! The boys have early release on Wed.'s, so they were able to join Hayleigh and I! We brought several pictures and nick nacks that we had bought while we were there, but they were more interested in Hayleigh:). We shared with them how in 1949 the Communist Government took over China and they soon had a huge population boost. Then in 1979 the gov't inacted the "One-Child Policy" We talked about the result of that policy and that is the reason why we are blessed with Hayleigh. They already knew about the importance of boys in the family etc... We had a great discussion!! They had some awesome questions and Taylor and Brayden did a great job sharing about China too - I was sooo proud of them - they chimed in whenever they thought of something else!!! We were only there for 40 minutes but we could've stayed much longer:)

Thanks Lisa for inviting us to share - we had a great time!! I wish would have remembered my camera:( No pics this time:(
