This is the 5th
week of our Summer Program. Most of the students have come out of their “silent
stage” and started incorporating Chinese words in their daily conversation.
More advanced students try to formulate sentences in Chinese, while others try
the “fill-in-the-blanks” tactics. Either
way, they are coming closer to the name of “bilingual kids” day by day. “Brown
Bear Brown Bear” proves to be a popular book, and it comes to life with the
hands-on props made by our talented teacher, Liu Laoshi. Our part-time teacher,
Hong Laoshi, had a wonderful review session on two pairs of Chinese characters.
Her multi-media approach has engaged the attention of all students.
Next week we will
start a series on fruit, and the book we will use is “Very Hungry
Caterpillar”. We ask each child to bring
in one kind of fruit everyday, such as apple, peach, or banana, which will be
shared with the whole group (about 8-9 students daily). Please avoid anything
with small pits, such as cherry. While
we feature two types of fruit each day, what you child brings does not need to
coincide with them.
Enjoy the summer and
have fun with your child(ren)!

暑期班已经进入第五周，孩子们都开始说中文了，有些孩子尝试讲句子，有些是英文句子夹着中文词语，常常逗得老师忍俊不禁。本周的书“棕色的熊”很受孩子们的喜爱，刘老师还制作了一套教具，孩子们学得更投入了。洪老师利用多媒体及各种教具复习学过的一些中文字，连最小的学生也开始认字了。下周我们的主题是“夏日水果“，重点介绍的新书是“饿肚子的小虫“。我们请每个学生每天带一种水果来学校，与同学分享。请避免有小核的水果（如樱桃）。下周每天介绍两种水果，但您让孩子带来的水果可随意，不必照我们的课程安排。
敬祝
暑安！
