Character Development lesson - "Resilience"
Yesterday, the class watched a touching news on a man that has no limbs, but who exhibits courage and resilience. With that, it is hoped that they would appreciate what they have, and try their best in whatever they do. The "I think I can, I think I can" mentality is a very powerful self-motivating mind-tool that I had demonstrated to the class when the AV system in class didn't seem to work initially. With that, I finally managed to set the AV system in place for them to watch this video clip. You may want to follow this link http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jfPplLR-FB4 and show it to your child again. I am sure they will have lots of questions to ask. Use this teachable moment to instil a sense of resilience in them ：）
"Follow Your Parent to Work"
Yesterday, the class had received a circular regarding "Follow Your Parent to work" during the June Holiday. Glad to receive good response from the parents as well as the children. Some of them can't wait to see their parents at work! :) A guided booklet would be given to them before the June holiday for their completion during the vacation.
Kindly return the reply slip to 陈老师 by the end of the week. Thanks.
Outing(again!) to Singapore Philatelic Museum as part of National Education Trail
Today, the children were excited to receive another piece of good news - They will be going to Singapore Philatelic Museum next Wednesday, 6 May. Kindly read through the circular and return the consent form to 陈老师 by the end of the week. If your child cannot consume cow's milk, kindly indicate on the consent form as well.
课文 《书包的话》
The class were introduced to lesson 2 - 书包的话。A number of them had actually read these lessons electronically, via the MOE Chinese educational website, http://xuele.edumall.sg/xuele/slot/u107/index1.html
Their reading were impressive! They will go on to the writing of Chinese characters and word recognition tomorrow. Please remind your child to keep the Chinese activity book in their bag in order to work on it tomorrow. In addition, if your child's white board marker has run out of ink, please provide them with a new one.
Reminder : Chinese hanyu pinyin test on Thursday
Since last week, the children had been keeping their Chinese textbook and blue file in their bags. I also understand that almost all of them had been revising for the coming Chinese test on hanyu pinyin. Please refer to the mock test paper that were given to them last week for the format to expect.
Oral temperature taking exercise on Thursday
陈老师 will pass the thermometer to the class on Thursday morning for conducting the oral temperature taking exercise. You are not required to provide one for them.
Labour Day on Friday - no labour, plenty of rest!
Cheers!
