Chinese Class on Zoom with Grandchild (Day??) - February 21, 2021

 I have been lagging behind on "Chinese Class on Zoom with Grandkids" reporting since January 7, 2021.  I think I will play catchup from the latest class on February 21, 2021 before I forget about everything even though I did capture all the photos and class notes with Celeste.

1. A very short Chinese Class - 10 minutes to review "Moon" and "Stars" "Yuèliàng xīngxīng".

2. A very simple and true concept of psychology (opening and closing eye of a moon cutup art piece) plays out here.  "A-Ma, I like the moon with the opening eye better!"

The act of looking at something with opening eye instead of closing eye indicate a child's point of contact toward the outside world.  It's full of creativity and curiosity not inhibiting something toward inside.  

3. He also shared with me about the background pictures of their outing at Anza Borrego State Park and Pescadero State Beach.  Good spellings from his on-line research - the benefit of Zoom Teaching.
