I had taught in traditional first and second grade classrooms prior to teaching Mandarin at GLOBE. There really isn't much difference when it comes to Calendar Math aside from speaking in Mandarin instead of English. In the beginning there was a lot of blank stare, but with the help of Ms. Salzillo's teaching on their "English Days", the kids quickly made the connections. Usually in the second semester it's when I start having students lead Calendar Math. This year, it was delayed due to mold remediation and snow days. Some days I am in awe of the progress the students have made and they never seize to amaze me each and every day. Such joy!
Here is a short glimpse of Reed leading Calendar Math. Enjoy!
