|Optional Homework| Due Monday, May 19, 2014
I am going to compile a video clip for the upcoming kindergartners, and I need your help. All you need to do is choose one of the following topics and respond in the most genuine way possible. You, I mean your kid. I plan on showing the video on the first day of school for the new kindergartners.
Some topics I brainstormed during this morning's traffic. You're more than welcome to come up with your own if you'd like.
* What was your first few days of Kindergarten like? What was difficult? What was exciting?
* What did you have to learn when you first started K?
* What phrases did you have to start speaking in the Mandarin class in the first week?
* Did you think Mandarin was hard? Has it become easier? What made you become confident?
* How long did it take you to get used to being in a language classroom?
* Did you ever get confused in K? Give me an example.
* What would you say to the new kindergartners?
* What would you say to the new kindergarteners' parents?
Please send me the clip/file NOT the youtube link this time by Monday, May 19 to my email address vliu@theglobeacademy.net
謝謝！

Better Chinese
| Better Chinese |
Last month I was thrilled to be attending the ACTFL conference in Orlando. Asides from all the great learning going on, I was also introduced to several book publishers. One of them is Better Chinese whose curriculum and materials are excellent. Please sign up for a one month free trial lesson HERE! The activities are engaging and will be a great resource for extra practice from home especially during long breaks.Very proud Mandarin kids perform in front of Grace Lin on 12.12.13! The program will be aired on WSB-TV sometime in January, 2014!

Week of November 4-8, 2013
This week in Math, the students were introduced Story Problems. There are problems with numbers in them, and the kids had to be the detective to figure them out. Problem Solving is a huge part of Mathematical thinking as well as a lifelong skill. It could be a complicated task, and to do it in Mandarin has got to be more challenging! I was able to engaged the kids by using their names within the problems. Let's just say, we had fun!
Do not forget to bring in FINISHED vocabulary cards on Monday, 11/11 (or Tuesday, if your child is in my homeroom class). We will be familiarizing them during read alouds, singing, and literacy center.
Thank you for all the parents who made it out to the parent teacher conference on time and with those warm and fuzzy smiles. You mean the world to me with your kind words and positive spirit. Looking forward to seeing the rest of you!!! :)
Last but not least, I'm trying to raise money for a projector for our class. Currently my project is on donorschoose.org. For the next 6 days, DonorsChoose will match ANY donation made to the class. If you have the time and the funds, we would really appreciate a donation. Even $1 will help (because really it will be $2 when DonorsChoose matches it). Please do not feel obligated to donate.
IMPORTANT: If you decide to donate within the next seven days, enter the code {CHEER}. DonorsChoose will only match dollar for dollar if the code INSPIRE is entered.

Happy (almost) Hump Day!
To celebrate a new laptop donated by the Rhame Family Foundation (thanks Amy!), I am posting few pictures from class. I also want you to know I am in the process of burning CDs, but would like a volunteer who is able to "burn" them all for the class. Who is in?(Thank you C's Mommy!) I will hand you a copy and you will burn the rest, 43 of them of course. I have the sleeves (Thanks Jen and SuoHsien!)
