Week+0919-0923

Dear Families,

I am so happy to begin this wiki space for our kindergarten Chinese immersion classroom. In this wiki space, we will share with you:
 * what we are learning
 * the fun things we are doing
 * information that you need to know
 * the coming events
 * some online Chinese learning resource

This week we focus on counting from 1-10. We learned how to read the numbers, the number sequence, and we began writing Chinese numbers. As you know, Chinese characters are formed with different strokes. When we write Chinese characters, we do not draw them, we write them with certain rules and orders. Here are the stroke order of Chinese numbers.
 * 1 ||  2  ||  3  ||  4  ||  5  ||  6  ||  7  ||  8  ||  9  ||  10  ||
 * 一 ||  二  ||  三  ||  四  ||  五  ||  六  ||  七  ||  八  ||  九  ||  十  ||





Here are some online resources for learning Chinese numbers: []. Try to click each number and listen the pronunciations. :)

And this one: [] is also a Chinese number game web page. Enjoy! :)

We use a Chinese game website： www.lewawa.com in classroom for reviewing and adding fun！ You can let your child show you how they play the Chinese number flash card game.

We began the Chinese language art lesson with first lesson: I love my family. This lesson introduce the name of family members and the Chinese character 爱 which means "love". You can simply follow the direction in the video and learn the lesson with your child.

Well, we did have a good week! I hope this wiki space could help you know what's going on in our Chinese classroom. If you need any more information, feel free to let me know. I would love to work with you all together to make our school year the best!

Thank you for your support!
