9月25日是中秋節，今天我們提前慶祝，吃月餅，本來想給大家溫習一下嫦娥的故事，但時間不夠，就沒說。希望大家有空的話，把三年級的課本拿出來看看，裡面有后羿和嫦娥的故事。
今天有兩件事讓我很感動。第一，分完月餅給學生，竟然有同學會問“老師，你不吃嗎？”好sweet哦。我確實是想，學校分給班上的一盒，如果學生喜歡吃，就都給他們吃，我自己有另外買一盒，回家還可以吃。不過真的沒想到會有學生注意到我沒吃，有這麼貼心的學生，老師很開心。第二件事是，剩下的月餅，有同學表示還想要一塊，但他拿了月餅並沒有立刻吃，我問他怎麼不吃，他說要留給媽媽，真是孝順的孩子耶。
對了，還想教大家一首和月亮有關的唐詩，先貼在這裡，看看有誰可以在下次上課之前就背起來？
靜夜思 （by 李白）
床前明月光，疑是地上霜，舉頭望明月，低頭思故鄉。
=====================================
今天因為吃月餅，還有消防演習，剩下的時間不多，不過我們還是完成了不少事情：
1. quiz 1：考上個星期看video所學的象形字。
2. quiz 2：測驗第一課的14個生字。
3. 朗讀第一課的“說故事”，並講解其中的生詞。
4. 發第一課的補充教材，深入說明第一的生字，並補充例句。
5. 檢查紅本的生字練習，更正。
這週的作業：
1. 完成 handout 的 page 4.
2. 作業B本：B1 - B6.
3. preview 第二課。
下週（9/29)要做第一課的小考，所以請復習第一課所有的內容。
小考包含四部份：
1. 寫出英文單字的中文意思。 ex: chair = 椅子
2. 寫出中文字的 注音，部首，和部首的注音。
3. 圈出正確的用語。
4. 整句英文句子，翻譯成中文。（都是課文裡的句子，或類似的句型）
==========================
給父母的話：
這個班級的小朋友對於注音符號都已經相當熟練，中文字抄寫得很好，單詞的中文意思也認識了不少，但我觀察到他們在唸書的時候，都還是很依賴注音符號來發音，也不太能用中文說出完整的句子，所以這個學期我有兩個重點：
1. 訓練他們多記中文字，降低對注音符號的依賴。所以考試時，只要是學過的字，我就不再打出注音，希望大家能記住字本身，而不是靠讀音來了解（或猜）字的意思。
2. 多做 complete/whole sentence 的練習，不僅學習單字，單詞，而是要會用完整的句子表達意思。
各位家長有什麼想法，歡迎打電話，寄email ，或是在這里留言給我。
9月15日 第二次上課
今天又來不及教完所有的東西就下課了。我教得有點快，希望大家還跟得上。
We ran out of time (again!) before I could finish everything I had prepared for today. I rushed a bit. Hope I did not lose any one.
學生們參與的情況還不錯，但我仍然覺得我可以少說些話，好多留給學生一點時間練習朗讀或會話。
Students' participation was pretty good, but I still think I could do less talking and spare more time for the students to practice oral reading/conversation.
今天我們看了一個關於中文字起源的短片，我打算下次上課針對這個短片介紹的文字，做一次小考。不要求學生會寫每個字，但要能認出來。
We watched a short animated video on the origins of some Chinese characters. I'll give a quiz on this next time. Students are expected to be able to recognize those characters and match them with correct definitions in English.

Play to learn 遊戲學中文
Game, game, game!!! Don't miss it.
這個遊戲還蠻好玩的，你要不要試試看？
初級的詞彙練習，應該不會太難吧？
（玩過的人請留言，告訴我你覺得難不難。）

如果想試試中級的，或是別的遊戲，可以點下面這個鏈接：

第一堂中文課
雙城中文學校秋季班 9月8日開學，我終於和我的學生見面了，大家的表現都不錯，我很開心。
The Twin Cities Chinese Language School started the fall semester on Sept. 8. I finally met my students. Everybody behaved well on the first day of school, which made my very happy.
過了一個暑假，大部份的學生都對中文字有點生疏了，好多字都忘了。
After a long summer vacation, most students' Chinese skills have turned a bit rusty. They even forgot the correct strokes of some very simple charcaters。
至於口語部份，有幾個學生說得不太好，大概是因為在家很少說的緣故。
As to the speaking skills, some students did not do as well as I expected, probably because Chinese Mandarin is not the main language used in their families..
這學期我想讓學生多練習口語，因為大家在發音方面，還不是很標準，特別是聲調，有點怪怪的。
I plan to let them spend more time in speaking/conversation in class this year, because there's room for improvement in almost everyone's pronounciation, tones, and intonation.
======
回家後，我一直在想，一個禮拜只上兩堂課，實在太少了，要如何提高學生的學習興趣呢？
I've been thinking how to stimulate the students' interest in Chinese learning since I came home that day. Less than two hours a week are far from enough for mastering a language.
為我的班級做一個部落格嗎？也許家長們會同意我貼幾張上課的照片、貼學生的作品，同學們平時也可以上來看看我幫他們找的資料，可以留言、發問。不知道這樣的共同園地，學生們會喜歡嗎？
How about creating a blog for my class? Maybe I can get the parents' consent to post some pictures of the class and even the students' work. During the week, the students can come here to check my postings, to use the leaning resources I found for them, to write comments, or to ask questions. Will they like the idea?
不管啦，試試看吧。
Let me try, anyway.
=======================
第一次上課來了七個學生：如蜜，亭瑋，詩瑜，晏翔，建昇，熙漢，熙祥。
有一個請假：捷宇。
不知道下個星期還會不會有人加入？
