My students are energetic, kind and eager to learn. I teach two half-day Chinese immersion kindergarten classes. I have a total of 54 students.
My students are eager learners who love to come to school.
They love to sing Chinese songs and count 1 to 100 in Chinese. They love challenges. They are also fun and creative. Being exposed to two languages every day, they have a great desire to learn all they can. I feel very fortunate to teach such a wonderful group of students.
My Project
My goal is to build connections between the two targeted languages through reading without direct translation. We love to read! Reading a book in both languages makes such impact on my students’ learning. Students are able to make connections between two languages and internalize new language skills. I need help extending our library.
Eric Carle is our favorite author.
His books teach not only language skills but also many other areas, including math, science and interpersonal skills. Most of his books are translated into many languages; Chinese is one of them. With your help, I can extend our bilingual reading corner starting with Eric Carle's books in Chinese and English.
