Math K 期末考试

今天我们进行了期末考试，同学们都做得很棒！总分为100+20（附加题），恭喜王楷小朋友再次以100+19的高分夺冠（其实大家的分数都超级接近，Justin和大宇也分别在试卷和附加题拿到了满分，看来果然是竞争激烈^_^）。

同学们都领到了老师发的Report Card（没有拿到的家长请私信联系我哈）。谢谢各位家长在过去一年里的支持，还有同学们的努力付出。也再次感谢我们的小TA Kevin以及之前的代理助教Mason妈妈和大宇妈妈，每周辛勤帮助批改练习册作业。李老师很欣慰看到小朋友们在数学学习上取得的进步和成就。不过这只是一个良好的开始。学无止境，希望大家在未来的学习中，养成良好的学习习惯，掌握科学的学习方法，这会让你们受益终生。

最后，祝大家暑假愉快！我们的课结束了，但友谊长存^_^ 这是李老师教的第一个低年级班，这个年龄的孩子们真心单纯可爱！欢迎同学们今后在学习上有什么问题，随时来找老师聊聊，我会很开心见证你们的成长！

Bilingual Chinese Final Exam

Today we had the final exam (Speaking test + writing test). All of the kids did a fantastic job! Please see the report card that we distributed today:)

Besides, congratulations to all for your great job in the book report. I guess you must be very proud of yourself when received the certificate and prize from BCS PTO. Well done!

Can't believe it's our last day of class for the school year of 2017-2018 at BCS. Thanks to all the students' hard work, and all the parents' support throughout the year. It is so nice to witness the kids' steady progress. I will always remember the Saturday afternoons that we worked together on Chinese.

Please keep on learning Chinese (it may be the most difficult language in the world, but you will find great fun in the future). Enjoy!

Wish everyone a nice summer!

Math K: 8.4 Subtraction within 100

欢迎来试听课的新同学Feifei ^_^

今天我们学习了这本书里最难的一个章节：一百以内减法。小朋友们先后几轮到白板前计算加法、减法和加减法混合运算，棒棒哒！

同学们似乎基本掌握了竖式加减法的精髓，不过遇到进位加法和借位减法（也叫退位减法）的时候，还是稍微有些难。

那有哪些方法呢？

Math K: 8.3 Addition within 100

今天我们学习了8.3 一百以内加法（课本77-81页）

欢迎两位来试听的新同学Anthony与Lucas^_^ 
其实一百以内加法的知识点与40以内加法的是相通的，小朋友们掌握得很不错！几个需要注意的地方：
1. 竖式加法的时候，注意十位数与个位数分别对应（千万别错位了）
2. 遇到进位加法的问题，在十位的位置，写个小小的1^_^

后面一半的时间，我们还DIY制作了闹钟（有圆形的，也有方形的），记得又长又瘦的是分针（minite hand），又矮又胖的是时针（hour hand）。小朋友们会根据时间来拨动时针和分针，棒棒哒！
