blog1Are all elementary schools this much fun?  I don’t know… I haven’t spent that much time in them but the bar has been set high for every elementary school we’ll encounter in our future!!!  Today Maddie attended this year’s second Conflict Resolution Assembly.  Sounds kind of boring, right?  Not a chance!!blog2

Maddie’s art teacher starred as Mr. Conflict Resolution man himself complete with the wig afro, pink sparkly cape and hot pink pants.  The 4th grade class, principals and several teachers performed on stage and sand their Conflict Resolution Man song for all.  And then the role-playing began…  Maddie’s PE teacher dressed the part of Dr. Disco who appeared on the right side of the blog3stage and appeared to be talking with Conflict Resolution man.  It was brilliant!  Dr. Disco had obviously recorded his part ahead of time as we saw the LCD shining his image up on stage but he seemed to be having an actual conversation with Conflict Resolution man.

blog5It was well choreographed, hilarious and the kids not only walked away entertained but really understood the message.

I’ll bet there are a lot of interesting conversations around the dinner tables in Shanghai this evening!!
