1st period studens had enough time for one learning center. After we've done the calendar introduction, there were 5 volunteer students to do the calendar activity on their own to receive their credit for their presentation which is 15% on the grade system scale. Next we used powerpoint to introduce a story. After the TPRStory and cycling questions, we made a Christmas tree with Chinese characters on it - 聖誕快樂/圣诞快乐。When students were done their Christmas tree making, they started to do the learning center; where students used netbook to practice typing, listening to a Chinese story, reading a Chinese story and answering the questions, reading pictures and retelling the story, reading pictures and rewriting a story. For 2nd period, we spent more time on storytelling. Keanu Hansen's parent brought in lots of Chinese candy and T-shirts with Chinese characters on them so we spent some time distributing these candy and T-shirt. 2nd period students in stead of doing learning centers with the limited time just played go fish去钓鱼in Chinese. The same the 3rd period, due to the limited time we just played go fish去钓鱼in Chinese.
