Add Mandarin to your Keyboard

To type in Mandarin on your home computer, I screenshot two ways; one for Mac and one for PC. Students will begin to research in Mandarin to begin the informational writing unit on animals. But for now, we have just begun to practice typing Mandarin. This is especially helpful since the students have been reading pinyin and focusing on emphasizing in tones while reading. Students can practice typing in Google Docs by copying words from their Mandarin journal for now. Some students did begin to write narratives on their own, and they are welcome to share with us anytime. (veckmann@theglobeacademy.net or mhuang@theglobeacademy.net) We will be happy to provide feedback directly on their writing.

Week of August 28-September 1, 2017

Morning Meeting - Students describing good/ bad news after drawing a picture with details. It is still difficult for students to form complete sentences using unfamiliar vocabulary words. The more we practice our sentence stem through read, writing, and speaking, the more skilled we will become. 

 

Naming and writing numbers - fluency and fluency!
