五月一日星期三 - May 1st, Wednesday - A Day

For the students who are absent - We learned the following words.
下大雨xià dà yǔ = it rains hard
現在xiàn zài = now
一張床yī zhāng chuáng = one bed
睡覺shuì jiào = sleep
在樹上zài shù shàng= in tree/on the tree
身上都是水shēn shàng dōu shì shuǐ = water all over the body


We first used ASL/TPR strategy to introduce the words and then we played ribbon game in paper. (Our classroom procedures at the beginning of the class is COPY DOWN THE WORDS ON THE BOARD, CALENDAR INTRODUCTION, REVIEW THE OLD WORDS). Since B-Day students worked on the stories pages 43 & 46 and our lesson story is for the page 49, after using ASL/TPR introducing the new words and small whiteboards to practice the words and phrases, we worked on the stories on pages 46 & 49. We read both stories on page 46 & 49 on the textbook; the teacher read aloud word by word and the students chorally responded in English and then the teacher read aloud sentence by sentence and the students chorally responded in English. And then we used TPRStorytelling questioning to ask students the story for comprehension, listening, and speaking skills. We created sentences on a piece of paper.

 For Chinese Level II & III students we worked on the vocabulary on sickness. We first used the powerpoint to introduce the new words. We made sentences with these words according to the following picture. After practicing these words with sentences, we read a story with these words in. The teacher read aloud sentence by sentence and the students chorally respond in English. And then we use TPRStorytelling circling questions to practice the listening and speaking skills and check the comprehension as well.
