Today we had our first summer class. We learned how to say different colors in
Chinese. On the day before Independence
Day, I had the children write down the Chinese characters for red, white, and
blue. I also encouraged them to think of words for colors when they watch the fireworks tomorrow night.
Here are some words for colors:
