Something fun to do if you have 10 cents for the printer May 20th

Janessa's letter for this week (May 20th) was this Word document attached, and this brief message below:

Awkward that I just spent all my time on that worksheet. Hope it brings you a mild amount of joy.


HEY, ENGLISH SPEAKERS!
Trade in your boring name tag for a moment as you complete this fun, language worksheet.

Match the squiggles to the correct Asian language

안녕하세요 어떻게 지내                                   Vietnamese
ສະບາຍດີທ່ານວິທີການ                                     Thai
kumusta kamusta ka                                        Cambodian
สวัสดีเป็นอย่างไรบ้าง                                       Chinese
こんにちは、どのようにしている                           Lao
xin chào bn thế nào                                        Japanese
你好你怎么                                                Filipino
ជំរាបសួររបៀបអ្នក                                      Korean
Look at the faces and write in what language they likely speak
Language bank: Spanish, Russian, Cambodian, Chinese, Persian, Thai, Samoan, Southern, Japanese, German                                                                             
              

Which of these are tell-tale Asian house indicators?
ÿ        Fake plants, often planted in a garden, or on the porch, alongside real ones
ÿ        Bamboo in the front or side yards
ÿ        An absurd number of cars, parked all over the lawn and in front of the house
ÿ        A plastic ziplock bag with pennies in it, tacked to the top of the doorframe
ÿ        An unusual quantity of rugs or welcome mats, layered on each other
ÿ        An attempt at a full-size herb or vegetable garden, either in pots on the porch, or forced upon the front yard in an awkward make-shift garden
ÿ        The color red, especially accenting the house or the front door color



Have you heard..
About our cupcakes for Cambodians program?
Every referral you give either of us that we check and confirm it to be Cambodian, whether they’re interested or not, I’ll bake you a cupcake.  So.. if they close the door too fast and you’re not sure what kind of Asian they are, text us the address anyway! You might end up with a treat.
