After learning how to write today's characters, we played a new game: "Beat the teacher." In this game, the students work as a team to "beat" me by following the right stocks when I'm writing a character on the board, but not following (pause and stay quiet) me when I "purposefully" make a mistake. The students loved this game and had a lot of fun in the class! Since the stroke order has been such a challenge to almost all the students, this game really helped us paying attention to the right order of strokes of each character, in a super fun way. We shall play it again in our review sessions in the following few weeks.
After all the games and writing practice, we also had another little booklet done, titled "小猫种鱼." It was also the story of lesson 24, the last lesson in our textbook. More than one students asked me: "Do we have more classes next week if this is the last lesson?" The answer is absolutely Yes! We'll have four more "regular" classes, all in May, followed by our last gathering, the school end-of-year party.
We'll be reviewing the characters we've learned so far and the Pinyin system in this month. On the last one or two Sundays, we'll probably have a little quiz to assess the students' levels. Keep up your hard work and don't just relax yet. ;-)
Lastly, a friendly reminder here to Guang'ren and Guang'mei: Please each bring a toy from home tomorrow (5/10) to show-and-tell in our class.
See ya all soon and Happy Mother's Day!!!
