4. Derrick, you will also need to bring your 30 seconds Chinese introduction to the game of “acted chartdes”. Be sure to emphasize that the audience will act together to help y’ll guess the words.

Dear Parents,

Greetings! Hope the new semester is off to a great start!

It is really good to see our kids back to NCS last Saturday — I have been missing them throughout the break! In class, we started the very first lesson in a new book “MeiZhou Chinese”.

Before next week, please:

1. Complete pg. 1-5 in the workbook package. It is assigned by weekdays, so just finish one page each day.

2. Review the text, characters (plus vocabs), and structures we've learned in class.

3. Most importantly, prepare a NOTEBOOK and bring it to class EVERY WEEK. We are going to learn a lot more new characters and vocabs this semester, so it is important to take notes in class and review afterwards.

Besides, kids will get the new textbook and workbook this Saturday. Please prepare $15 (including textbook, workbook and flashcards) and have students bring it to class.

Thank you so much for your support and cooperation. Please let me know if you have any questions or thoughts.

Best regards,
