三月二十六日星期二 March 25, Tuesday - B Day

FOR CHINESE LEVEL II & III ABSENT STUDENTS - 1) Copy down the words onto your notes and show the teacher your notes when you come back, 2) come at advisory time, lunch time, or after school before 4pm and take a quiz for today's word when you come back to school.

For Chinese Level I students, we learned 4 words today -
老師 lǎo shī= teacher
學生 xué shēng = student
星期xīng qī  = week/weekday
星期幾? xīng qī jǐ= what day?

We first used TPR to introduced the words, and then we played "Ribbon game" to practice the words. The teacher shook the first person of each row and asked 什麼是老師shen me shì lǎo shī ? and the person answered "teacher"; and then the person shook the hand of 2nd person of the row and asked 什麼是老師shen me shì lǎo shī ? And the person answered "teacher"; the 2nd person shook the hand of the 3rd person of the row and asked....Continue the step until the last person of the row answer the question. And the last person of the row has to run to the teacher and ask the teacher 什麼是老師shen me shì lǎo shī ?. The 1st one who runs to the teacher and asks the question receives 2 points for their row; other rows who are not the fastest one will receive 1 pt for their rows.

and the small whiteboards as well. Of course we used sentences to familiar with these words like..
什麼是學生shen me shì xué shēng? = What is " 學生xué shēng"?
什麼是星期 shen me shì xīng qī ?= What is "星期xīng qī "?
今天是星期幾jīn tiān shì xīng qī jǐ ? = What day is today?
昨天是星期幾zuó tiān shì xīng qī jǐ = What day is yesterday?
明天是星期幾míng tiān shì xīng qī jǐ = What day is tomorrow?
