游戏儿歌:丢手绢 Throw Handkerchief


Class 03/12/2017

In today's class, we spend most of time to review. We play a game about students separate in two groups: red team and blue team; the teacher will say a Chinese character and the student represent of each team will go grab the word. This game helps the students to recognize Chinese characters.


                                      

 
After we reviewed the Chinese characters, we reviewed pinyin through the same game.
Today we play a game outside called "Throw Handkerchief 丢手绢". One person need to throw the handkerchief behind another person and the person got handkerchief need to catch the person who throw the handkerchief  to him or her.

Classs 2/26/2017

In the beginning of the classs, we reviewed the chapter 8 from the textbook春天真美丽. Also, we started to learn chapter 9你家有几口人 today. After students read the texts, all the students started to learn to write the Chinese character from the chapter 9. Everyone did a great job on the writing.

 
Chapter 9 is about the family so, the teacher also taugh studentst how to called each member in the family tree(mom, dad, grandma, grandpa, aunt, uncle, brothers and sisters, etc.) in Chinese. Students also sat in a circle, taking turns to speak in Chinese about how many members in their family.
         

At the end of class, we read the book "司马光砸缸" one more time in Chinese (we introduced the story last week in English).

Pinyin Videos




Class 2/12/2017

We reviewed the few songs we learned before at the begging of the class: 你好歌、礼貌歌、上学歌. After we reviewed the song, we started to learn a new chapter from the textbook. So, we spent our first period to read chapter 8 春天真美丽. The teacher uses some word to help students understand the title of the chapter.
*The weekly homework is a very important part of this class; it helps the students to retain their learning at the class. So please do spend time during the weekdays working on your assigned homework......The more you keep yourself exposed to the Chinese sonds and characters throughout the week, the more you'll learn from our class time!

In the second period, students watched a short pinyin YouTube video to learn more about pinyin. We also practiced writing some new Chinese characters that from ch8: 一、儿、手、大. If student's Chinese character practice sheet not finishes, student please finish it in the home.

Finally we learned the text, sang it with a tune and played "Beat the teacher" game to make sure the students can read all the characters in the text. Please practice reading the text, as usually, as part of your homework assignment. Parents may help and record the students' reading. voice files can be sent to Che Laoshi via email or wechat. Detailed instruction can be found in previous week's homework sheet. 

 



当我们同在一起



We didn't "officially" teach this song during our class time. But it's a simple one and may be a good one to play to the students at home......
