Dear Parents,
\nOur drawing class is growing, currently 21 students. The students really study very hard, and try their best to show me their ability. They not only show off their mature behavior, they are truly ready for the class every time. They are like a sponge, ready to absorb whatever I provide in the class. While I was introducing and dissecting to the kids in the last class my Chinese brush painting ——\u4e07\u9a6c\u5954\u817e\uff0cI asked a question \u201cwho watched \u6625\u665a\uff1f\u201d Immediately, half a amount of students raised a hand and screamed \u201cI watched it. \u201d They not only understand this abbreviated specialized \u4e13\u6709\u540d\u8bcd\uff0cbut also they know what it is in the content. I was deeply surprised and moved by these students\u2019 response. \u6625\u665a should have been more than 30 years old in its history, six-seven times more than my students\u2019 age and \u6625\u665aculture has become a necessity of most Chinese people in the Chinese new year. This style is flowing into kids\u2019 mind as young as 4 year old and influencing their daily life. I know that these students are young, not even know the words, or how to read and write words \u6625\u665a\uff0cbut \u6625\u665a Chinese culture has rooted in their young body, young mind, young brain and will grow as they grow. For the people who like to do a statistical survey, you may want to check out how many students in the Chinese class in the American high schools would know \u6625\u665a\u3002Would you have more than half a amount of people in the class watch \u6625\u665a? From this piece of incident, I can clearly tell you how powerful the Chinese school is, how much impact it exerts to our young students and how much it teaches students from young ages.\u00a0 Of course, your parents are playing a great role, too.<\/p>\n
I have updated the student artwork page in my blog and you are welcome to take a look.\u00a0 Not all students but a majority of students’ artworks are displayed.\u00a0 Some drawing and coloring from new students are pretty good.
\nEvery kids should have a home work folder now and should do at least one page of home work on a weekly basis. I will pass more sometimes in the class. If some students finished all material, they can do free drawing. Every artwork kids did should be included into the home work binder to keep, to maintain and to review. To take a full advantage of the home work binder, parents should help kids do three things: 1. color it , 2. contour each page and then color it, 3. draw it and color it.
\nNext class we will draw and color hot air balloons. After that we will have a break. We will resume the class in March 2.
\nBest regards,
\nMichelle Yu, Teacher<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
