Puxi Second Grade Chinese Teaching Group: Colorful Shell Show

In the first week of this semester, Puxi second graders learned a beautiful children's prose, “Picking Shells.” The prose depicts a moving scene of a large group of children picking up shells together by the sea. Scallop shells like folding fans, snail shells like small speakers, the vivid metaphors and rich imaginations brought the students from the classrooms to the seaside.

The teacher announced an interesting assignment: "bring shells to school.” The students brought colorful shells with various shapes. In the Chinese class on Thursday, they were required to complete a classwork—paste the shells on paper, imitate the metaphor in the text, and use their own words to describe the shells. The students carefully glued the shells, completed their own sentences, and added beautiful decorations.

At the end of the second week, a special "shell show" was held in the second grade corridor. A tiger-striped conch, a moon-white scallop, a turbine-like nautilus...a variety of shells, matched with students' suitable words, are attracting teachers and students to stop and enjoy watching the gifts of the sea.
