玉鈴老師的班

• We'll have midterm next week. Please help your child review lessons 1-5.

Today we reviewed lessons 1-5, and taught new alphabets: c (cih 舌), ch (chiaf 車), s (sikoef 西瓜), j (jixtiern 字典). I found some kids could already sound the words out! I'll keep reminding them this set of phonics are different to that of English.

I told a story about responsibility: 守夜的雁，大意像我們國中課本的「孤雁」一樣，就是不負責站崗，害同伴被獵人射殺。Some kids thought it's a sad story. 我鼓勵小朋友從小要把爸爸媽媽和老師交代的事情做好，長大才能負責更重要的事。

At the end of the class, we played flashcards competition. This was still one of their favorite games.

Homework are:  

• Write 5 times of cih, chiaf, sikoef, jixtiern
• Recognize flashcards of lessons 1-5
• Listen to the CD and learn to sing lessons 1-5

I'll be absent next week. Teacher Amy will help with the test. Wish all the kids do very well in the test!
