玉鈴老師的班

Welcome back, Aaron!

Teacher Amy checked homework. I reviewed lesson 7: PhutQo 葡萄 (Grapes). I gave each child a fruit card and asked them to come to stage and introduce their fruit, eg. name, color, taste and whether they liked it or not. Kids all did this very well.

I reinforced the virtue "modesty". Don't brag, but also don't be too humble. We don't exaggerate our ability and we don't hide it, either. Be confident while you can do a good job.

I reviewed Taiwanese alphabets. There were still some consonants that were hard to pronunce, like "j", "g", "c", "z". I'll keep practicing them in class.

We started lesson 8:HQr peng’iuo 好朋友 (Good Friends). Vocabularies were: satbuun雪文 (soap)、chiwkin’ar/ bixnkyn手巾仔/面巾 (towel)、khykQf齒膏 (toothpaste)、khybirn齒抿 (toothbrush)、sQefhoatzefng洗髮精 (shampoo)、sQefchiuo洗手 (wash hands)、sQefthaau洗頭 (to shampoo).

Kids were familiar with soap, towel, toothpaste, and toothbrush which Teacher Chia-Yu taught them before. The most difficult one is shampoo. But at the end of class, a couple kids memorized the pronunciation. They are really quick learners!

Homework are:

• 學習單 8好朋友 (What does she need for cleaning? Say them in Taiwanese.)
• Made flashcards of lesson 8.
• Listen to the CD and learn to sing lesson 8.

See you next week!
