Dear Parents,<\/p>\n
I would like to take this chance to tell you that we have had a wonderful start of this school year for \u7ed8\u753b\u4e00\u4e59\u73ed.\u00a0 The class has many talents who are good at drawing and coloring.\u00a0 Almost all students enjoyed the class so much as they forget a need to go to bathroom and were actively involved in discussion.\u00a0 Their sharp thinking and their responses surprised me often. Here is a question for parents to ask your kid, \u201c why and how do flamingos have a pinkish orange color?\u201d\u00a0 I told a story about this and most students listened very carefully.\u00a0 I ensure you that kids will give the answer.
\nMost students worked hard in the homework.\u00a0 I reviewed their art works in the classroom and educated the whole class by adjudging them what is good and what is not. If your kid has not done the first two pages in the homework binder, please finish it up this Sunday.\u00a0 Any art works done by students should be collected and three-ring punched and piled up in the homework binder, of course with parents\u2019 help.\u00a0 As I said in the first class, we not only teach students how to make art works, but also train them how to manage their art works and review them over the time. This is very useful skill that will be needed in their future studies and in schools, and also is one way of education.
\nI would also ask for parents\u2019 help in teaching kids to start drawing in a sketch book from the beginning to the end when they draw, not to pick up a random page to draw. I have emphasized this several times in the classes.
\nOver the past four sessions of\u00a0 drawing and coloring,\u00a0 students gradually learn how to draw and start to show their interest in the subjects, and their interest in which part of the particular subject.\u00a0 Next drawing subject is apple.\u00a0 In the coming Sunday, we will draw and color apples, enjoying the apple picking season.<\/p>\n
Best regards,<\/p>\n
