First Day of Class 9/11/2016

Hello! Welcome to the first day of class! We started today's class by learning how to introduce ourselves. the Teacher went around asking each student their names so they can practice introducing themselves.

We then learned a song called "Hello Song". It is a song that teaches you what to say when you meet someone.

 Circle time followed that and during circle time we learned how to ask people how old they are and what their name is.  "你叫什么" (What is your name?) "你几岁" (How old are you?) 

The teacher then split them into groups of two and as partners, they introduced themselves to each other. They later had to present their partners to the class. 

 After recess, the teacher read a book to the class. The book is about a little panda meeting other animals and introducing himself to them.

 We also learned sheng diao today.  Sheng diao is the sound the Chinese characters make,  crucial to learning Chinese. The four sheng diao's are "-- , /, V, \ " . Characters that share the same pinyin but different sheng diao mean totally different things.

       We have accomplished many things on the first day. See you all next week!
