Teacher’s Day in Yunlin – Jhennan Elementary School
Written by Amica Rapadas, 2020-2021 Yunlin ETATeacher's Day in Jhennan wasn't just a day; it was a whole week of students and teachers' activities.
Every day, students ran around during breaks finding teachers to sign their Teacher's Day name bingo. Some commands asked students to say, "Happy Teacher's Day" and "Thank you" in different languages. There were daily broadcasts about the holiday. On Friday, my co-teacher and I closed off the broadcasts by sharing some English songs and talking about their meaning.
On Saturday, the school had an assembly to celebrate Teacher's Day. My co-teacher and I introduced the six gifts for teachers and their meaning. Then teachers were given these gifts. There was also a pomelo-peeling contest for teachers! The students were going crazy, cheering, "加油！." The gym sounded like a football game.
鎮南國小的教師節不是只是一天的節日而以，而是一整個禮拜老師及學生的活動。
學生在休息時間四處找老師們簽教師節的bingo卡，在卡片中要求學生用不同的語言向老師說 “教師節快樂”或 “老師謝謝您”等感激的話。在星期五也有廣播節目來介紹這節日，這天我跟我的LET主持廣播並分享一些英文歌曲及歌詞的意義給學生們。
星期六，學校有全校性的教師節慶祝活動。我跟我的LET一起介紹教師節束脩六禮的項目及意義，之後再由學生代表贈送這六禮給老師們。同時學校也為老師們舉辦撥柚子競賽的活動，全校的學生在台下很瘋狂的為他們的老師歡呼”加油”。整個歡呼聲讓這體育館就像置身於足球塞。

我跟我的合作中師 Doreen，問學生有關於教師節送束脩六禮的問題!
