We started today's lesson by exercising some simple dialogs in Chinese, such as "wo ma ma shi zhong guo ren," "wo baba shi yi sheng," "wo mama 也 shi zhong guo ren"......The same as last week, we did this listening and speaking exercise by playing the game "一样，不一样 (the same or not the same)," per the toy figures' gender (last time was by colors).
Then we invited students to come up to the front to recite the newly taught nursery poem "爱旅游的小蚂蚁." There were two students did it successfully and that was really cool. For those of you who haven't achieved this goal, please don't give up. You can do it within a week, if you put like ten minutes into it everyday. Your hard work will pay off once you get there! However, ideally, it should be done in a FUN way and the students need to feel that learning Chinese is not boring or too hard. If there's any negative feelings attached to this exercise at home, please find another way of doing it or email the teacher for suggestions.
Today's main lesson time was spent on learning numbers in Chinese. We counted by dribbling balls and we also practiced how to write one to ten (Chinese characters) in their correct stroke order.
The homework for this week is to finish your Year Book Contest entry. Please give it a hard thought and plan it carefully. Once started, please take your time to do a good job. Don't forget it's submission deadline is next Sunday, May 7th. Thanks to all the parents who are supportive and sacrificing your personal time to help your children learning and practicing Chinese at home!
