English Language Support at Home
Parents, are you looking for tools and knowledge to effectively support your child in learning English as a second language? We invite you to a series of workshops led by Mrs. Bassett focusing on enhancing your understanding of second language learning, highlighting the benefits of additive bilingualism, and offering practical strategies to assist your children.
The next two workshops will happen on Wednesday, March 19 and 26 from 11:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. in the Library Classroom. Korean and Chinese translation will be provided.

Chinese
Chinese Reading Month
March is Chinese Reading Month in all our LifePlus schools in China. With this month set in place, the Chinese departments at each school have set united goals to build students' Chinese reading interests and habits, help students learn more about the Chinese language and culture, and improve their reading and speaking abilities.
As we work towards these goals, we’ve set in place several action points. While students are encouraged to read at home, there will be time set aside every Friday for them to read, share, and create posters to showcase their reading reflections and takeaways. Chinese teachers will provide a selection of Chinese books, and students are also welcome to read their own Chinese books. For native Chinese classes, students of the same grade will read a common book this year, selected as an extracurricular recommendation that aligns closely with their current textbooks.
After students have read a book, they’ll write a reading note to acquire points. The three students from both Elementary and Secondary grades with the highest points will receive district awards, and as an incentive for the whole school, each student who participates in Chinese Reading Month will receive a prize. Classes with a participation rate exceeding 80% will be rewarded with a party. Last year, 87 students participated and read around 500 Chinese books! Let's see if we can break that record this year! 加油!
