Foundations of Mandarin Chinese
Thank you for providing me the opportunity to work with your child to learn Mandarin!
Below is some information for our class.
Last two classes!
Thursday December 1
Thursday, December 8
Weekly Homework:
To reinforce learning, please have your child make and practice flashcards on the materials in their folders. For example, numbers, classroom objects, colors. Have them write the character on the front of the card, with the pinyin and English on the back. If there are no characters, (names of colors), just write the pinyin on the front and the English on the back. We will also work on writing characters each week. Most of them finish in class, but if there is not enough time, they can finish at home. Click here for more grid paper.
