Christmas break, no class!

I forgot to hand out a note last Saturday. Showed as below:

Dear Parents and Guardians, We will be having a Chinese New Years Assembly on January 17, 2009. The yearbook committee will be organizing a silent auction for this assembly. If you are interested you can donate some items for this activity. Anything would be good. The committee will decide a reasonable base price for each item that you have donated. All money raised will be going to the 2008-2009 yearbook. Please bring in the items by January 10, 2009. This is a great way to get rid of the old items in your homes! Thank you, London Chinese School 亲爱的家长们, 伦敦中文学校将在2009年1月十七日举办春节联欢会。在这次联欢会上我们会进行沉默拍卖会。如果您有兴趣的话，您可以捐献一些物品(任意)。中文学校的校友会成员们将会为每个物品标上适当的基价。这些钱会捐献给2008年及2009年的校友册。请您务必在一月十日把物品带到中文学校。这样您就可以把您家里不用的物品清除一下了! 谢谢， 伦敦中文学校

Hey! did you notice that? It's December the 13th and also the 13th week for our class! What a coincidence!

We did some review before the test. Some kids counldn't wait and kept asking to do the test. Anyhow, I hope everybody did well.

After test, it was time for relaxation. We read a monkey rhyme and sang songs. I handed out the "surprise" that I promised last week.

It was the last class before Christmas. Wish all of you have a

Week 12 (2008/12/06)

There was only one hour for class today. We learned some words about colors. Then we went to celebrate Christmas in the gym.

There were big brothers and sisters singing songs. We got some candy canes. Some kids were upset because they didn't bring money for the activities. Unfortunately, I didn't have any money with me either! I will remember to bring some next time.

I hope everybody had fun at the Christmas assembly!

Christmas Assembly

We are going to have a Christmas assembly this weekend.

There are activities for families.
Please come join us in the gym at 10:30am this Saturday!

PS. The class starts at 9:00am as usual and we won't have "snack time" this week!

Week 11 (2008/11/29)

We played a game when the bell rang. The final winner carried the flag and led us to the classroom.

Everybody arrived before the end of the game time, so we started our class without disturbing. Way to go kiddoes!

I made new name tags with protection. I hope they will last longer.
One of our homework was to say "我爱你!" ("wo ai ni" I love you!) to mom. You will get a red heart sticker if you do that every week!

We didn't have treats because some kids didn't behave. There was trash on the ground. Thanks for those who helped to pick them up before we left.

Homework for week 11:

• Homework Book B Lesson 6 练习册第1册B 第6课 p.28~31
