In class
today, I let kids colouring dinosaurs,恐kong3龍long3,  which matched
one of  the subjects today ㄥ.  And we spent a lot
more time on learning fireflies, 螢ying2火huo3蟲chong2, by doing a colouring about
fireflies, learning the song and watching some related film clips I attached
below, if you like to play them for your child as a review of today’s lesson.

We also made
a triangle flag, 三角旗, by using some different sizes of
felt circles and buttons, and a chopstick. Most kids already forgot how to say
chopsticks in Chinese which we learnt in Term2! Again this just proved the importance
of reviewing the old information.  I shall
put more efforts on this part in future.

I introduced
5 pictures with their Chinese characters & bopomo together in the ppt, and
later let every kid have a go on the PC game regarding the same vocabularies, followed
up with a paper work to check out if they understood everything.  Kids were generally fond of the pc game, and
were excited about it.  But when doing
the paper work, some could not quite get it. 
I wonder if they are still too young to be familiar with the worksheet.

I learnt to
create the pc game from my first daughter last night. She suggested me to
design something that attracts kids to play and learn.  The main attraction of the game is for kids
try to make the connection with the sound and the bopomo.  I promised them I will send the game to their
Mums/Dads, so they could have another go at home.

Homework: ㄆㄨㄡㄥworksheets & pc game:bopomo1808.pptx

從昨晚雨就下個不停,怕大塞車, 我特地提早去學校附近吃午餐!就在Bridge Rd 上, 台灣人開的“台灣小吃” 銘楷爸爸分享的news!  這也是促進我們提早出發的原因.. 事實證明我們早到學校是.明智的, 因為傍晚回家時蠻塞的, 因為今天下午有球賽!!  但雨停了, 還好.

三個小時我們做了不少東西.
今天我們主要是介紹注音符號的ㄥ和ㄡ, 和相關拼音. 我挑幾個跟我們日常相關或動物玩偶, 小朋友容易內化的物件來做生字引導. 盼慢慢地可把小朋友的字彙累積起來. (這時,又開始希望可每天跟這些小朋友見面,複習他們的中文多好.. 我其實是個急性子!)

除了新知, 主要還是溫故. 不斷複習前面學過的東西. 加深印象. 畢竟一週只有3小時, 小朋友學的快,但忘的也快, 若爸媽在家沒有稍微複習一下, 其實每一個星期六對某些孩子幾乎都是一個新起點. 大女兒昨晚分享了她在學校數學課學的遊戲設計, 她給了我這個idea設計了電腦遊戲讓小朋友可在家複習課堂上學的生字. 我們也在課堂上玩過一輪, 希望對每個孩子的學習都有幫助.

我們做用筷子和大大小小圓形的和扣子做成三角旗的圖案. 又, 學了”螢火蟲” . 相關歌謠和影音和畫畫恐龍 …和 唱歌..
