Hi parents,
 
We will review lesson 13,14, and 15 this Saturday.
 
I will teach them how to pronounce r at the end of some words. This is the most common sound used by people in Beijing.
 
We will also have the reading contest this Saturday. Till now, there are 6 students want to participate. If you want your kids to participate, please let me know by tomorrow morning. Thank you!
 
We will also learn a Chinese song this week. It is the song that I learned when I was a little girl. I know, it is a little bit old song. I will try to prepare some new songs in the future once I find a good website with Children songs and learn. Below is the link of the link of the song. If possible, please let the kid listen it BEFORE the class. I will also let the kids listen in the class. http://v.youku.com/v_show/id_XMzAxNzc0Nzc2.html
 
This is the video of the review lesson
 
If you have any suggestions or comments, please let me know.
 
Have a nice day!
