Ms. Mack will usually give two reminders before taking away a Dojo point, so if you see a mark on there, you know that they have already been reminded three times. We know through research and experience that students will make the greatest advances in their Chinese language development if they are speaking as much Chinese as possible! The secret word this week is: firecracker. Students can tell Ms. Terry or Ms. Mack the secret word in English ;) WHAT WE ARE LEARNING: ELA: Welcome to Unit 3 Week 6! We are reading a story titled “Where Are My Animal Friends?” We are working on drawing conclusions. Our phonics focus is comparative endings (er and est) and dge as /j/. We will be learning about adjectives. We are working diligently on writing complete sentences and paragraphs. These kiddos are doing an amazing job! They constantly amaze Ms. Terry with the depth of the discussions we have! CHINESE: Students will spend time reviewing some of our previous units in Mandarin Matrix, and will start learning the new characters for unit 9. Students will read a new story called "On the Way Home." This story will introduce the following target characters for unit 9: walk 走, go 去, come/arrive 来, field/farm 田. We will be reinforcing the following key language features: “Don’t…”, “Let’s go behind/back…”, “Let’s go look for…”, “Where did…go?”, “….come and….go”, “can’t find…”, “go up/down”, “Here or not?”, “In the…or not?”. MATH: We are continuing to work on unit 10 this week which focuses on "Using models and strategies to add tens and ones". SCIENCE AND SOCIAL STUDIES: The topics for science and social studies this week are the Chinese Lantern Festival, and “People at Work in My Neighborhood."
