三月十一日 & 十二日 星期二 & 三 March 11-12, Tuesday & Wednesday 中文一 Chinese I

For 4th period, we were planning to learn the words on sports; however, lots of students forgot the words/patterns we learned after the kitchen lab break. Even though we wrote new words down on the board but we didn't learn them today but review the colors and the clothes. We used PQA questions and the flashcards on colors to practice the pattern?

For 7th period, most of the students were to tell the colors in Chinese so we learned some radical parts.

March 5th, 2014, Wednesday

For 2nd period Chinese Level II and III students they discussed the assigned jobs for the kitchen lab for the orange chicken and fry rice dishes and then we headed to Syracuse Elementary to visit Lan Laoshi's classroom.

March 7th, 2014 Friday

Well, I'm using our CTE teacher's computer and since there is no Chinese in hers, I have to type in English.
Today it is the orange chicken and beacon ham fry rice day which means we came to the kitchen lab to cook these two dishes.
Some things I found out today...
1. Some students don't know it needs oil to 'FRY' rice, orange chicken, etc.
2. Always there is someone who forgets to bring something to school for their team.
3. Poor moms and dads are busy this morning to bring the stuff for their children.
4. There's no 'CLEAN-UP' concepts.
5. Some students don't know the procedures of cooking; they keep coming and asking me what is the next!

TO CLEAN THE GREASY STOVE/COUNTERTOP, YOU WILL NEED TO
1. wet your cloth and wipe off the greasy stuff on the surface.
2. next use the dry cloth to dry off the surface.
3. then you may spray, use the wet cloth, and last dry it.

NO OFFENSE, just feel like these teens clean the stove and countertop by simply spraying and dry cloth. All the greasy is still there.

For 4th period, I mostly like won't let them cook fry rice as there is not enough time for the to cook both dishes. We'll see.

三月六日星期四

For Chinese Level II & III, we worked on the story on the textbook page 26-28.
For Chinese Level I we worked on the patterns:
你喜歡什麽顔色？
你穿什麽顔色衣服？
你穿什麽顔色上衣？
你穿什麽顔色褲子？
We went visited the young kids at Syracuse Elementary.
