Dear Students and Families of Walt Disney Magnet School,
Welcome to a new school year! I hope you and your family had a safe and fun summer. My name is Mrs. Zha. I am from Suzhou, which is a beautiful city in China. I had 4 years’ teaching experience in Shanghai China and 9 years’ teaching experience in the United States. I am excited about the opportunity to work with you, and I am really looking forward to a happy and productive school year together. It is important that we work very hard this year to be the best that we can be. It will take great efforts from the students, parents, and staff at Disney to work together toward a successful school year.
As your Child’s Chinese teacher, I take my responsibilities very seriously. My goal is to create a positive, nurturing environment where each child loves to learn and can expand and enrich their knowledge and skills. In the 8 or 10 sessions' Mandarin Chinese classes this year, for novice-low level group, we will learn the foundations of Mandarin Chinese such as Pinyin, radicals and simple Chinese characters as well as the basic information about self and family in Mandarin Chinese. Students will create their first Chinese book by using the content covered.
For novice-mid level group, we will have a project-based learning. Students will imagine that they are in the exchange program and they are going to visit their host family in 8 weeks. They will need to make a mini-book or collage to give a head-off about themselves to their host family. By completing the project, students will review and explore the topics such as Personality, Family Members, Jobs/Professions, Hobbies and Talents as well as a China Trip Plan.
Throughout the sessions, students will be exposed to Chinese cultures such as Chinese arts, holidays, traditions, stories, places of interest, food, life, etc. We will use google classroom for all the communications, including the handouts and assignments. You may also see the related learning resources on my website at www.teacherzha.weebly.com.
I look forward to working with you all closely this year! If you have any concerns, you can contact me by emailing me directly. My email address is [email protected] and I am really happy to help you and your child with any question or concern. Let us work together to help our kids learn Mandarin Chinese better ! Once again , welcome to Zha Laoshi’s Mandarin class. Let us work together to make this the best year ever!
Sincerely,
Zha Laoshi
