I heard from a student the other day commenting about reviewing past vocabulary:"...but reviews are boring...." So this week's review had a different focus: Pinyin (拼音)
For the 1/2 grade learners, it is something we have used but never systematically summarized until now. We used the Pinyin chart to look for the correct pinyin letters that match the pronounciations of words that we have already learned this year. It was rocky and slow at the beginning. But after two sessions, I have seen good growths in the class as a whole. On top of that, the 1/2 graders did their first dressed rehearsal for the Chinese song that we have been working on. I'm thinking of having a performance next week.
