中秋節/节 Round Party in Mandarin class

Dear students and parents,

Below are the pictures taken in Mandarin class for the Moon Festival celebration.

The Moon Festival is another big event for Chinese people. It’s just like the western Thanksgiving Day. Today in Mandarin class, the students are very happy and excited about the first party they have in the new school year.

They enjoyed round fruits and round snacks since “round” is the symbolization of reunion and happiness. Hopefully your family will also have a good time together.

I am very glad to share the following fantastic pictures with you all.

Cheers,

Hsu Laoshi

Annual Chinese Calligraphy Week

Dear all,

In order to help students to know more about traditional culture, and to experience the practice of Chinese Calligraphy,

Intermediate Mandarin curriculum has designed and created the opportunity for one week long per school year. Please come and see how engaged they are in the class and how interested and concentrated they are to hold the brush and to well control hand’s movement. They followed the teacher’s instructions to keep their writing in good shape and in balance in order to show the beauty of Calligraphy.

You are all welcome to come to our bulletin boards on 3F to appreciate their art work. You should be very proud of their presentation and performance. Other than this, they also have completed the year project about the theme, Year of Monkey for the Chinese New Year. Students’ excellent projects have been posted along the stairways. Please find attached their amazing outcome.

We are going to prepare for an action song for the big celebration of Chinese New Year on Wednesday morning, Feb. 3. Look forward to seeing you there to join us the cultural event and to give our children the best support and encouragement.

 

Blessings,

Hsu Laoshi
