HAPPY 2013...and our homework today (Chinese Poem 1)

It's so glad to see all of you again after the long winter recess. I had a great time in Taiwan getting together with families and friends and having wonderful food there. Everyone seemed to have a lot of fun, too.
Love to have you all back!!!

We will start to learn Chinese poems from the beginning of this year. I will choose fifteen poems this year and they will need to be able to recite at least ten of them. I will ask them to read to the parents too, so please initial on the worksheet after they read to you.

Our homework today is to read the poem at least three times so they can be able to read it to me tomorrow.
Here is our first poem.

登鸛雀樓 王之渙

白日依山盡， 黃河入海流。

欲窮千里目， 更上一層樓。
