From Teacher May Fu,

Happy New Year, parents and students!  I am thankful to have so much support and to have the blessing to get to know each and every one of you.

Please continue to come join us on Saturdays to learn and grow together as a CPAD family!  Since this is our first class in the new year, the theme will focus on Chinese New Year.  I will introduce how different countries celebrate Chinese New Year as a way to expand your child's knowledge of this important holiday!  It'll be great if your children can share some New Year activities they do with their families.  After all,  one of my main goals for this class is to instill the idea of sharing with one another.  They can simply do that by getting comfortable with speaking in front of a group of people and sharing stories without feeling pressured and judged.  So before Saturday, feel free to spend time asking your child what they like about Chinese New Year to get them comfortable speaking on Saturday. 

 - how different countries celebrate Chinese New Year (listening)

 - children sharing/speaking time (speaking, thinking)

 - practice how different countries celebrate it! (socializing)

 - games/activities/food tasting (team work)

 

Thank you and I look forward to seeing all of you on Saturday!
