Dear Parents,

2. Story: The wide-mouthed frog (Chinese edition).
3. Character learning activities with Teacher Jessie.
NO class next week - Thanksgiving Break.
Next class: 12/5 lesson 9
Last class for 2010: 12/12 - review lesson 1-9
There is no shortcut to learn any subject/skill including our heritage language. The more time you involve the greater the chances are that your kids show interests and confidence about the language. I do not want you to spend long hours on the textbook or pinyin symbols but to provide language-rich environment for your kids. You can sing, tell stories, read stories, chat, play, etc. together with your kids in Chinese. (This is how we learn our language naturally.) I have seen great progresses in some of our kids' learning and I believe that it is all parents' devotions.
For those who were not natives, there are ways to help kids at home. You can use online resources or printed materials as tools to learn the language together. The way you learn will inspire your kids. Here are a couple of portals to expand the learning beyond the classroom:

If you have any idea to help our kids learn, please share with us. Thank you for your continuous support and Happy Thanksgiving!!
