From this week, we will review what we learned.

I will  help kids with the ones that they might be got confused, such as gua, guan, guang, or xi and shi. Hope after these weeks, kids will master all the pinyin and can read comfortably with books mark pinyin.

I create a document, which I learned from a book, which has all the Chinese characters without pinyin. And I use those Chinese characters that they learned to create some words. Please let them read the words as many as they like. After they read the words, hope they will feel comfortable with the Chinese characters. I hope when there are both pinyin and Chinese characters, our kids will read the Chinese characters first, not just read the pinyin. Pinyin is just a tool to help them to read the Chinese characters.  I will distribute the document in the following weeks. If you want it ahead, just let me. And I would be very glad if you can help me to improve the document.

 

This week, I will emphasize on lesson 16,17, and 18. We will review both pinyin and Chinese characters. I prepared two games also.

 

 

 

I am sorry for sending this so late. Because of the track and field event, this week I will only teach 40 minutes. We will review ang, eng, ing, ong and learn ying, yong, and iong. And I will play a short game with them. The field event will start around 10:15, but our class will be end at around 10:00 for assembling. And please dress proper clothing and shoes for the event.

Hi parents,

 

We will review lesson 13,14, and 15 this Saturday.

 

I will teach them how to pronounce r at the end of some words. This is the most common sound used by people in Beijing.

 

We will also have the reading contest this Saturday. Till now, there are 6 students want to participate. If you want your kids to participate, please let me know by tomorrow morning. Thank you!

 

We will also learn a Chinese song this week. It is the song that I learned when I was a little girl. I know, it is a little bit old song. I will try to prepare some new songs in the future once I find a good website with Children songs and learn. Below is the link of the link of the song. If possible, please let the kid listen it BEFORE the class. I will also let the kids listen in the class. http://v.youku.com/v_show/id_XMzAxNzc0Nzc2.html

 

 

If you have any suggestions or comments, please let me know.

 

Have a nice day!
