Welcome Back to School

Welcome Back!
This year is my first year teaching DLI 3 Honor students. I've met my students once or two. I felt honored to be their teacher; they are really awesome and great.


Today 1st period we worked on the dictionary form. Amazingly students created their own sentences and their own definition in Chinese characters. It did take a long while before I expected but I was so glad that they took the challenges. Of course there were several students who needed some help, which helped me be aware of their learning pace and of the adjustment that I needed to have to help them grown and learn.


For Chinese Level I students, we worked on the dictionary form as well but we played some games; such as Simon says, whiteboard and the stand-up-and-shout-aloud. We reviewed the greetings and learn 3 words on 停、走、跑。students were paying attention on the tones. We had fun time.


For 4th period students they seemed more active and outgoing than 1st period but generally most of them worked hard and did their best. We worked on the dictionary form; to clarify how to write the dictionary form we started over to teach and show. I heard a couple of students chatted in English. Too bad, huh?! We will work on that later. :) They are awesome!
