Week 14 and 11/30 Homework

Homework
Fix and review Week 14 test. The total score for this test is 105. Please turn it in again on Monday with a parent signature and fixed answers.

Days have passed so fast and now it's the end of November. Soon it will be our favorite holiday month. So excited.
Here are some little reminders for what to do in Chinese class so we will have a worry-free December.

1. We always turn in Blue Writing Book on Fridays. Read planners before going to bed or before leaving home for school to make sure you didn't miss a thing.
2. We always have tests on Fridays, so remember to study. I will return the tests to you the same day. Remember to fix it and have your parents put initials on it and turn it in again on Monday.
3. We need parents' initials on our planners. You will get a warning for not having that on your planner.
4. Bring yellow flashcards on the first day we start a new lesson. I will remind you by asking you write it down on your planners, but you are responsible for bringing that to class. We do a lot of practices with the cards, so it is very important that everyone bring his own set. You will not want to lose any chances to practice with us and it's a way make sure what you do to study at home is correct.
5. If you can not find your learning materials, like books, cards or worksheet. You can  get a new one but first you have to ask (or beg?) your parents to write a note to me and pay twenty eagle bucks for new materials. Remember, it's a lesson to learn to be responsible. No one will help you take care of things like that when you leave schools in the future.
6. Anything that break class rules will add a warning to anyone who does that. And it will be no fun to get more than three warnings in a week.

11/20 Homework and a reminder for tomorrow

1. No Week 13 Test
2. Read L1-L3 Words once. (Use flashcards, Blue Writing Book or our blog to practice.)

There will be no other homework this week, so they don't need to bring Chinese planners tomorrow.
We also will have an assembly tomorrow morning, so remember to bring your mountain man paper (for English class).

(They can bring board games or other fun things to play tomorrow but we need to remind them not to bring dangerous or fragile things to share. And don't bring pets, please. There might be students allergic to animal fur. And we can not take very good care of pets at school.)

Happy Thanksgiving to everyone!
