Singapore Lesson 8 (see this blog post for directions on how to navigate the website ). All of the vocabulary we will learn to read, write, and speak will be pulled from stories on this website. We are starting in Lesson 6. I would encourage you to let your kids listen and read along with the stories on this website frequently (to reinforce what we do in class).

- 回 huí - to return
- 家 jiā - home/house
- 爸爸 bàba - father

Chinese Readers
will be sent home in the next couple of weeks. A CD with all of the audio will be sent home. Please download the CD onto your computer so that you will have it throughout the school year. We do not have enough to send home every day, only the first time. Kids may keep these readers for the week and read them, but they must be returned by Friday of the same week. Children are not expected to know all the characters in the beginning, but it should build on what they already know. If books are not returned, a small fee will be charged.
Homework Expectations
- Homework will be given Mon-Thur in English & Chinese (except for occasional "no homework" days after a long day of testing )
