Today is my daughter’s seventh birthday, so I used a single-lens reflex camera to take some photos. I wanted to use wechat to transfer the photos from my computer to my phone and send it to my friends, but I accidentally sent it to the Houston Dragon Academy group chat. Perhaps it is fate; when I thought how to explain it to my family’s Dragon Academy baby, I remembered she said that she loves Dragon Academy.

今天是女儿七岁生日，所以用单反照了一些照片，本想用微信从电脑倒到手机上以便发朋友圈，不想点错传到了龙学宝地。也许是缘份，明早和我家的龙学宝宝说，她最爱龙学了。

I had hoped that one day they might read Dream of the Red Chamber or novels by Jin Yong. I didn’t expect that because of her studies at Houston Dragon Academy, she would see a lot of episodes of Dream of the Red Chamber dramas and other TV dramas and that she would know a lot of plot points. Next time, I hope that they will perform a play based on a Jin Yong novel.

我平生对她们的美好期望就是有朝一日她们也能读读红楼梦，金庸。没想到现在因为龙学她还真看了不少红楼梦小儿书还有电视剧，至少是知道不少情节人物。下次龙学再演个金庸就齐活了

Amber wants to go to Houston Dragon Academy every day. She says that it’s not just one of her favorite schools but that it is her favorite school of all.

Amber日日都想龙学校，说最喜欢的学校，没有之一

We can see that you are combining traditional Chinese culture with modern Chinese culture in your lesson plans so that children are more willing to accept the education because it is a tangible, livable environment. As parents, we don’t want our children to learn old-fashioned ideals and ways of speaking, and this kind of speaking is apparent when they communicate with native Chinese children; the language they use can feel like crossing back into ancient times. Thank you and keep working hard!💪

可以感受到你们在教育上力求结合中国传统文化和现代中国文明，这样孩子们才愿意去接受，因为这是他们的生活氛围。作为家长，我们不希望孩子学的是古板老套的生硬文化，更不希望当他们同中国孩子交流时，所说的语言给人感觉象穿越到古代。谢谢你们，加油💪
