Language Acquisition

Work in Small Groups

Speaking in front of a whole class is pretty intimidating. Most students feel much more comfortable practicing their English with a partner, or in a small group of three or four peers.

Green Team Vegetable Sale: Wednesday 4:00 PM

The Green Team will be hosting our second vegetable sale this Wednesday at 4:00 PM (as long as the weather cooperates with us!)

Last sale went fast, so get there on time!  We will have fresh organic salad mixes available (10RMB each) and everything else 5 RMB which includes white radish and kong xin cai (water spinach).   Possibly some carrots, micro radishes, tomatoes (ripe or green) and other various veggies that we will pick on the day.

For your information, the money raised helps us buy new tools, more organic fertilizers and seeds.

Language Acquisition

Use the last five minutes of a lesson to get your students to tell you what they learned as a result of the lesson. Write down the students’ responses so that all can benefit. Students can copy what you write on the chart . You can leave the chart up for it to serve as a reminder. You can then save it and refer to it whe you review the work.

Scrooge!

Reminder to any cast or crew who has not yet handed their signed Production Camp  parent letter in to do so now. You will not be able to stay for the Production Camp without this letter given in. See myself or Ms Philip if you have a problem with this.
