Sorry that I forgot to bring the midterm result to school last week and against student's wish, I will not send out the grade via email. To me, the grade really doesn't matter. What I saw and want to see if that they are learning and want to learn. Like I said in the class, if they did well, I am very happy and proud of them. If they didn't do well, then I need to think what I can do to help them. I will discuss their grades with them individually and privately in the coming class. Hope you understand. I handed out the blank midterm for them to practice as homework and if they wish they could re-take the exam on Dec. 14. I will take the best grade for the record. I attached the blank midterm sheet in this email just in case.

We started lesson 3. Students should know many vocabulary in this lesson because many of them are colors which is in their recitation poem. Therefore, for homework, they will have to finish the blue book 生字練習簿 page 19-22.

Another reminder is the recitation contest is approaching; Dec. 7. I will try my best to practice with students in the class but please encourage them to go to my website http://blog.huayuworld.org/shyanmei/30696, to get listening practices.

謝謝您 and if you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact me.

Best, Shyanmei

大家好！

Hope you had a good weekend! We have the midterm in the next class. The midterm includes lesson 1 and 2. The format will be very similar to their homework from this week. Everyone should have it from the class but I attached it to this email just in case.

Again, my blog has recordings of the lessons and the recitation poem. Please take advantage of it. Here is the link http://blog.huayuworld.org/shyanmei

Kids are doing very well in the class. I know we are not progressing lessons fast but I could see the improvement and I am very proud of them.

Next class we will proceed to Lesson 3 and kids will be surprised and happy to know that by doing well in practicing recitation poem, they are half done with lesson 3!

Have a good week.

This week we 1) discussed the homework, 2) practice 3 sentence structures, and 3) practice recitation poem.

For the homework, students will have to complete the first three sentences in workbook B, then write additional 2 sentences for each sentence structure on a piece of paper. Also, I would like them to listen and record the poem for me. They can go to my blog http://blog.huayuworld.org/shyanmei/30695 to get the recording and use the same link to make their recording.

Have a happy and safe Halloween! See you next week!

This week we had a quiz in which we practiced 聽寫（Listening)，翻譯 (Translation) and 重組 (Unscramble)。It was not graded (well, we did but it was for the prices) and we talked about the correct answers.

Then we practiced the Poem "Rainbow" for the recitation contest. For next week, I will have students to read it for the whole class one by one. I also want them to listen to the recording on the blog http://blog.huayuworld.org/shyanmei/30695, make their own recording and send it to me. I didn't get a chance to announce this in the class, so I will announce again in the next class.

Homework is in Workbook B, everything in Lesson 2 except for part 3. Part 3 is sentence structure. I want to devote next class to discuss this important yet complicated part to students.

Finally, I hope it is OK with you that I use candies as an incentive for students to speak up or volunteer in the class. If you have any other prize ideas or anything you could contribute to the class, I would appreciate it!

Thank you and have a good week!

We finished the vocabulary in Lesson 2 including 信用卡（credit card)，簽 (sign)帳單 (bill)。 We read the text in Lesson 2 and explained the meaning of the text.

We also practiced recognizing each other's names in Chinese. I think students were surprised that they don't really know each other's name after several years of being in the same classroom! I will continue doing so and hope that it might help create a sense of community for our class.

Finally, we played a game where one student read the new vocabulary and the teams had to write them on the board. Students did a GREAT job and had so much fun!

For the homework, students have to finish writing in the Blue book including p. 16,窗，信。P. 17, 卡，帳，單，簽。P. 18, 箱。

Next week we will have a quiz on all the (1) vocabulary we learned in Lesson 1 & 2, (2) sentences structures including Translation (from Chinese to English) and Unscramble phrases.

Last but not least, I put the recording for Lesson 2 on the blog. Please listen and practice it. I will ask students to read in the class in the next class.
