Week20--Note to Parents!!!

Dear Parents,

Many kids are getting better on their Thursday Chinese Character Quiz, while some kids are still struggling for it. Please check your kids' backpack for how they were doing. I usually gave the Quiz sheets back to kids with their worksheets that are already checked by me. Remember, the more practice, the more kids'll remember.
So far, we've covered L6-L13(There are 67 Characters included.). While we continue moving on to next lessons, I strongly recommend kids to review previous lessons.

This week, I gave out a worksheet to review some characters we’ve learnt from previous lessons. In the bottom, I made a sentence from these characters. As what we’ve be doing, we’ll have a Chinese Quiz based on this worksheet on next Thursday. Please encourage your child to do more practice on my blog.
Thank you for all your support.

Week17 News

Dear Parents,

Chinese New Year is coming on January 23rd. We are planning to have a Chinese New Year Party and some students’ performance on January 20^th.    This week, I started to introduce Taiwan Aboriginal culture and dancing to kids, and they love it! The second graders will do the dancing on that day. 

For the dancing, students are expected to wear anything which looks like aboriginals/(Indians). Besides, they are encouraged to do some facial paintings and put on some other decorations, like necklaces, feathers, etc.  If students can’t find anything alike to wear, they could simply dress mainly in “red”.  Please start to prepare for it.  

Thank you.
