在改功課時，我發現很多小朋友沒有交感恩節的作文。在班上我跟小朋友說那是“挑戰”，有交的小朋友可以多一張貼紙。這次我改變一下戰略，我把“我的Winter break” 和 “我的New Year Resolution” 兩篇作文跟功課釘在一起。頁面上有一些用詞是我們上課時有學到的，請小朋友試試看，但不是每一個詞語都要用到。我刻意找一些小朋友比較有意見的題目，希望他們寫起來不會那麽困難。不會寫的字，用英文都沒關係。我希望小朋友能盡量表達他們的想法。謝謝！
I realized a lot of students did not turn in “Thanksgiving” essay. I told the kids it’s a challenge and anyone who turns it in would get a sticker. This time, I am attaching two essays – “My Winter break” and “My New Year’s Resolution” as part of homework. There are some phrases on the page that we taught and I would like the kids to try, but they don’t have to use every phrases. I intentionally picked topics that the students would have opinion of. For the words they don’t know, they can even write in English, but I like them to try to express their ideas fully.
上個星期第四次小考，小朋友的表現跟以往一樣，大致上都很好。謝謝您們的努力。
Most kids did well in the quiz for Lesson 4. Thank you.
接下來我們有三個星期不用上課，希望大家有一個溫馨、愉快的假期。一月七日再見！
We will have three weeks of no Chinese school. I hope you have a good holiday and see you in January 7th.
