Today 1st and 2nd periods we learned the following words - 想要、認識、告訴、請、地道、飛機場、....的時候、不好意思。After the introduction to the new words, students were asked to pick up the pictures according to what they heard. They also read the pictures and tell the story. After that, we have some volunteers to come up to the front and retell the story for us. About 10 minutes about the class ended, we did a Christmas song dictation. The song lyric is as the followings with the ryhme of "Santa Claus is coming to town." The song will be posted on my school website - Chinese Song.


For 3rd Period, we learned and reviewed the words: 覺得、好笑、不好笑、開玩笑、大聲。We used the small whiteboard activities to review the words and do a quick informal assessment. After that we acted out a story about Adma Sandler. After that we worked on calendar package. We didn't finish the package but the 1st 2 pages.

Today is the first school day after Thanksgiving break. At period 6th, we learned the words as the followings and then we used small whiteboard to practice the words. After that, we tell a story "the same old joke told by Adam Sandler" and then students were asked to work on as groups of three to translate the same story. When most of students were done, we translated the story together by volunteers.


今天是感恩節放假後第一天上學，第六堂課我們在課堂上學了有關星期的字詞和說笑話的單詞。介紹完新字後我們利用小白板練習這些新字。之後，我們說了一個"亞當山德拉說同樣的老笑話"。接下來，學生三個人一組，把同樣的故事翻譯成英文。當大部分的學生做完翻譯後， 我們讓學生志願舉手翻譯。

I'm trying to start a blog to briefly describe what we're doing in class each day so the students who are absent may be able to know what's going on in class.

Today is the last day before Thanksgiving break; we played Bingo games and use the words on the Bingo cards to play the musical chair game. Later we used the the cards to create a story. There's no pronunciatioin/pinyin on Chinese Level III students' bingo cards.

我要開始一個部落格，在這個部落格裡我將會很簡要地敘述上課的內容，所以缺課的同學可以知道我們在課堂上學些什麼。

今天是在感恩節放假前的最後一天，我們在課堂上玩賓果遊戲。然後用賓果卡上的單詞玩大風吹的遊戲，接下來我們利用賓果卡的單詞創作故事。
