In today's class, the teacher started the class by placing her stationaries in a different place in class. Afterward, students will be asked about to find a stationary:笔pen, 剪刀 scissor, 胶水 glue, 橡皮eraser, 书book.
We also started a new chapter6 (Remember during the break students need to review). The teacher use dialogue from ch6 practice it with students: the teacher randomly ask students about whether XXX(stationery)is this belong to you (student)? Also, the teacher plays a game that helps student practice chapter 6. Th teacher will randomly choose a word and she will trick the student by pointing a word and say the wrong name. The students also got a chance to do the same thing as what teacher did; one of the students will be a teacher and tried to trick other students.
In the second period of the class, we played a game called 找朋友 find a friend. The teacher gave each student two triangles(half word on there) and students will need to find a friend to puzzle it together to make a word.
We reviewed the pinyin we learned before after the game. We also read page30 on the textbook to practice more.

At the beginning of today's class, we review the chapter that was our homework for last week (pg27 in the textbook: 这是我的铅笔）.The teacher randomly chose a person to read two lines and then just like a train; a new person read the next two lines. After everyone read the lines, teachers want all the people to get more practice. * Remember to read the five chapters that we learned before during the week
Today we also learned some new pinyin. We learned four new vowels 声母: p (pō shuǐ jié 泼水节; a festival to splash water), q (qì qiú 气球；balloon), zh (zhǐ 纸; paper), w (wū yún 乌云: dark clouds)
The new final consonants that we learned today: u (bù 布; fabric), ü (yú 鱼; fish). The teacher made a game that she read a pinyin and students should follow her, but sometimes the teacher will try to trick the students. Also, the students make more pinyin card ( remember to bring all the pinyin card that we made in the previous class to every class)
We played a game called whistle game that helps students to get more understand about the pinyin we learned.
* Four persons per group. The teacher gave a word to the first person in each of the group. And then they whistle that word to the next person; the last person will need to write down the pinyin of the word on the paper.
After the game, we read page 29 in the textbook to practice say the pinyin.
At the end of the class, we reviewed the 上学歌 We add some dialogue at the end of the song.
