On October 8th, Datong Elementary School held a press conference for a special book donation. Principal Lee expressed deep gratitude to Amy Lin, the head of Books for Taiwan, for her dedication to bringing valuable English books from both U.S. public and school libraries to Taiwan. These books, which had reached the end of their circulation period, are now being repurposed as free resources for students, offering them new opportunities to learn and grow. The president of Datong’s Parent Association, Mr. Chen, along with the Wujangde Charity Organization, generously covered the shipping costs from the U.S. to Taiwan, ensuring these resources reached the school. Luke Lin, founder of My Culture Connect, played a crucial role in connecting the school with this wonderful initiative.

(9/12/2024) Under the guidance of the principal and Teacher Jade, Teacher Chialun led the second graders from Class 203 to the meeting room for a fun English and agri-food activity centered around making pizza. Teacher Jade taught the students the names of different pizza ingredients in English. The principal then guided them step-by-step through kneading the dough, spreading tomato sauce, adding toppings, and baking the pizzas. Soon, the delicious smell of freshly baked pizza filled the room. The students' smiles showed how much they enjoyed the activity, and their spoken English demonstrated how they were learning in a fun and practical way. We look forward to more exciting events where English and agri-food learning come together!
