Class 11/13/2016

This week was a review week. We reviewed all the characters and words we have learned so far. With the words we learned, the teacher asked the each student to go up to the board and create a word with the characters. For the older kids, it is asked that they they know how to write these charaters but for the younger ones, just recognizing then characters and what they mean would be enough. Please practice these words and characters and the ones that we have learned but is not on here.

One of our TA's, Hana, is applying to be a co-teacher. During 20 minutes of the beginning of the second class period, she taught the class for her interview. She taught the "School Song" to the students. Each student received a copy of the song and this song will be the song they perform at the Chinese School New Year's Show. There are also dance moves that come with the song that Hana also taught them. Please have them practice singing the song and dance moves. Here is a link to the song : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nEITfgYe74k 

The students also learned about the vowels and consonants for PinYing. Please have them practice the PinYing we have learned so far. The ones they have learned on in the book (from chapter 1 to 4). 

Also there is no class for the following two weeks. No class on 11/20 or 11/27 due to Thanksgiving break. Class resumes on 12/04. Please continue to practice your Chinese and we'll see you in two weeks!

Class 11/06/2016

* Today we have substitute teacher
 In the begging of the class, the teacher review the four tones. (The four tones are really important to say it correctly). Also, we reviewed how important are the pinyin and Chinese character.

   After, we started to review the chapter 4 from textbook. First, students reviewed the words and also try to learn how to write them: 人（rén；people), 大（dà；big), 太（tài；over), 儿（ér；child）,气（qì；gas), and 鸟（niǎo；bird）. Second, we reviewed the pinyin. Also, we learned some new pinyin. Teacher let one student came up and point a vowel or final consonant and other students tried to pronounce it.

 

       


 

   We also watched some YouTube videos to help students pronounce pinyin better and understand more about Chinese characters .

   This week homework will be same as last week; don't forget do your homework!!!
