Class Review 2/14

We began class by reviewing our flashcards. For the most part, students were very good at recognizing the characters. Next, we tested the students on their ability to write characters from memory. The characters we chose were challenging, but some students still managed to correctly write a couple or even most of them! Afterwards, we posted the tested characters on the board and asked students to copy down the ones they missed. 

Next, students learned new characters:  写, 业,  足, 球. They practiced writing the strokes in the correct order and forming words with these characters. 

The lesson the students read from the book was about playing with a rubber ball. The teacher brought out a mini beach ball and asked the students if they could find any other balls in the room. Students were very creative with their finds--they found paper balls in the recycling bin, spherical objects, and even an orange!

As it was Valentine's day, we celebrated by learning a new song about friendship. After practicing several times, students went up in groups to perform in front of their peers. Wonderful job students!
