一月八日星期二 January 8, Tuesday - B Day

For Chinese Level I students we still worked on the calendar. First we reviewed the old words like 四月八月 十二月 二月 五月 九月十一月一月六月三月七月 十月 and then we worked on the following new words -
打 算 dǎsuàn = (to) plan to

怎麼 zěn me = how?

慶 生 qìngshēng = celebrate birhtday

生日shēng rì = birthday

開 派 對 kāipàiduì = hold a party

看電 影 kàn diànyǐng = watch a movie

起司qǐ sī  = cheese
蛋糕dàn gāo = cake
巧克力qiǎo kè lì = chocolate
                                                    nǐ   xǐ huān chī    qǐ sī   dàn gāo hái shì  qiǎo kè   lì dàn gāo
We did a survey with the pattern 你喜歡吃起司蛋糕還是巧克力蛋糕? to know which period students like 起司蛋糕better or chocolate cake better. It came out: 5th period students loves 起司蛋糕 a little bit better, 十四人like 起司蛋糕 and 十一人 like 巧克力蛋糕. For 6th period students they were tie; 十五人like起司蛋糕 and another 十五人like巧克力蛋糕. After the survey we used the small whiteboards to practice the words. For 6th period students we also practice the pattern:
jīn tiān shì jǐ yuè jǐ hào
今 天  是幾月 幾號? = What date is today?
míng tiān shì jǐ yuè jǐ hào
 明    天 是幾月幾號? = what date is tomorrow?
zuó tiān shì jǐ yuè jǐ hào
  昨 天  是幾月幾號? = what date is yesterday?
                                                                jǐ yuè jǐ hào
Every student in 6th period were asked to 幾月幾號? and lots of them are able to answer the questions in full sentences. GOOD JOB, 6th period students.

After the whiteboard activity, we read a short story about Payton and Eli.
