八月二十九日星期四 - B Day

Yesterday evening we had a Back-to-School-Night. It went great. I was so happy that I was able to see so many parents. Tons thanks to the dear parents that they care about their children and spend time to come and meet the teachers.
For Chinese Level II and III students we learned the following words.
褲子kù zǐ = pants
裙子qún zǐ = skirts
襪子wà zǐ = socks
鞋子xié zǐ = shoes
衣服yī fú = clothes
穿chuān = wear
During the class, one of our assistant principal, Mr. Poll, came to our classroom and watched us. We used PQA and choral response to get to know these words. For example,
Michael 穿灰色衣服chuān huī sè yī fú
誰穿灰色衣服sheí chuān huī sè yī fú ?
Michael 穿什麼顏色的衣服chuān shèn me yán sè de yī fú?
Josh穿棕色衣服 chuān zōng sè yī fú
Josh還是hái shì Michael穿灰色衣服chuān huī sè yī fú ?
Audrey穿紫色衣服 chuān zǐ sè yī fú
Taelyn穿黑色褲子chuān hēi sè kù zǐ
......
and we reviewed the old words learned last time
長cháng = long
短duǎn = short
內nèi kù = inside
長褲chángkù = (long) pants
短褲duǎn kù = shorts
內褲nèi kù = underwear
買了mǎi le = bought
賣了mài le = sold
First we reviewed the old words and introduced the new words with PQA. Next we used individual whiteboards to practice the words. At the end we distributed the "I can" Stamp sheet for students so that they would know what they are going to learn in the unit and what they can do at the end of the unit.
Supplemental phrase
我wǒ 不bù 知zhī 道dào = I don't know.
我wǒ 不bú 在zài 乎hū = I don't care/mind.
我wǒ 不bù 管guǎn = I don't care.
帥shuài = handsome
不bù 帥shuài = not handsome.
For Chinese Level I students, we first reviewed the old words,
我wǒ = I
你nǐ = you
是shì = is/am/are
誰?sheí ? = who?
我是....wǒ shì ....= I am....
你是誰?..nǐ shì sheí ?..= Who are you?
你好nǐ hǎo  = hello

and then we introduced the new words.
你好嗎? nǐ hǎo ma ? = How are you?
很好hěn hǎo = I am very good.
不好bú hǎo = I am not good.
馬馬虎虎mǎ mǎ hǔ hǔ = so-so
還可以。hái kě yǐ = It's okay. I'm okay.
Again we tossed the ball first to practice the conversation. The first student of each row asked the 2nd student 你好嗎? and the second student answered 很好/不好/馬馬虎虎/還可以。And then we played bingo game.
1. the teacher distribute a A4 paper to each student.
2. have the student fold this A4 paper into half in a "hamburger" way.
3. have the student draw 2x2 lines on the 1st side of the folded paper like tic-tac 9 boxes.
4. have the students to ask 9 students 你是誰?and then你好嗎? (6 minutes)
5. when the students were done the conversation, toss the ball to a student and ask 你是誰?and then你好嗎? Any student on their paper who has the name the teacher tossed the ball and asked the questions may cross out the name.
6. Continue to toss the ball randomly and ask students the questions until the students who has one line crossed out says "賓果"。
We repeated the game until the paper is filled out. (4 times)
