Weeks of March 23-30, 2015

  The students matching words to their radicals

 

                              
                                               
                                                      

In these two weeks, the students have been practicing composing and decomposing teen numbers along with Place Value. Students are learning to show a teen number using Base Ten Blocks, tally marks, addition (13=10+3), Tens Frame, and Chinese Character. Why Chinese Character? You ask. When naming a teen number in Chinese, you are writing exactly how you say it. For example, 13 is actually TEN THREE (Shi San). It's an efficient way to learn Place Value through Chinese numbers.

In Mandarin, we have been learning to say our favorite foods as well as identifying the words. In centers, they enjoy separating words by their radicals, building words using play-doh, reading sentence strips, re-telling the Very Hungry Caterpillar book while role play, Memory Game through words or phrases learned, and many more. I hope your child has been sharing their positive learning experience with you and teaching you a thing or two. :)
