Math K 1B 第一课 Comparing Numbers

春季学期开始啦!几位同学都很棒,带来了上册的练习册让老师检查订正情况,表扬一下!

今天我们学习了新加坡数学1B的第一课:比较数字。
小朋友需要掌握2个知识点:
1:比较大小(似乎很轻松哈,同学们几乎都马上报出答案!)
我们也玩了扑克,抽牌比大小,大的那位同学可以收走其他同学的牌(不过要答对问题,比如11-3=?)。到结束看谁手里的牌最多。



2:用减法计算差距(稍难,继续复习上册学过的20以内加减法)





我们复习巩固凑十法、退位法,今天还教了小朋友们竖式减法。爸爸妈妈们在家里可以和孩子们一起来做练习(最后一幅图可以留到期末学到100以内加减法来用)

家庭作业:练习册7-17页
学有余力的小朋友也可以打印老师贴出的图来做bonus 练习题。

Bilingual Chinese 1 Final Exam

Dear Parents,


Today we had the final exam for 2017 fall semester. Most students did a great job in the oral parts. For the written parts, it's a challenge but some of the kids did do it well and I was glad to see each kid's progress in Chinese learning.


Please keep on the good work, and practice more in the coming new semester. Practice makes perfect, which is always true :P


01/27 is our first day of spring semester. We will have two new students: 白京辉 (Alex) and 白京皇 (Daniel). Welcome!!


We will start with Lesson 9: 我们的校服 our school uniform. As I mentioned, we will add some contents of Chinese Culture to our class in the following weeks. I will prepare some colour papers, to teach students about the traditional Chinese Paper-cut. Please bring a safety scissor to class next Saturday.

内嵌图片 1

Last but not least, do not forget about the song 新年好!

See you next Saturday!



Math K Final Exam

今天我们进行了第一学期的期中考试,小朋友们的分数都很接近,恭喜Mason小朋友第一名^_^ 同学们还是要细心,认真检查,将来无论做什么事都是一样。我们不急于求快,但要追求高质量,对不对?

老师check了同学们这个学期的workbook,在没有订正的书页折了角,请大家回家后把订正补上。有几页漏做的也请补好。下周一起带来。

下周是春季学期的开始,我们要开始新课。请带好新加坡数学1B的书和练习册。
1/27见!

Bilingual Chinese Class: First Parent Meeting + Final Review

Dear Parents,

Thanks for joining our first parent meeting this semester, and many thanks to the constructive suggestions that you have made. I have taken them down and would forward to the principal,  and have a discussion with BCS' admin team.

Please get well prepared for the coming final exam ( See teaching blog on 01/06). For the oral part, I will randomly choose 2 passages in the textbook and ask the student to read; I will also have a short conversation including the basic greetings, asking about names, an introduction of families, and what his/her favourite colour, to see the student's response, and pronunciation.

Yes, enjoy the fun of learning, and keep up the good job!

See you next week!




Math K Final Review

今天我们做了期末复习,要点如下:

1. 掌握1-20数字的正确书写,并会比较大小,会根据规律找数字。懂得序数词(1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th,5th,6th等)的意思并会实际应用。
2. 了解长度、重量的概念,并会比较。
3. 掌握基本的形状,根据规律找pattern中缺失的图形。
4. 20以内的加减法(重点+难点)。
特别需要加强的知识点:
1)加法和减法的区分(小朋友有时候会不注意+,-,会直接想当然写答案,提醒孩子先看清楚题目再动手)
2)20以内加法:凑十法(先熟悉配对凑十的数字:1+9=2+8=3+7=4+6=5+5=10,然后理解如何计算诸如8+3=8+2+1=11的运算)
3)理解减法和加法互为逆运算,学会反向检查:如3+4=7, 所以7-3=4,7-4=3.
4)20以内减法:借助数轴或数个数等概念,帮助孩子在开始阶段学习减法。慢慢熟悉之后,加快速度。

下周是本学期最后一次课,请大家带好练习册(下周六前要全部完成咯)。老师会检查每个小朋友的以往作业。认真做好订正的同学会有一个小奖品哦!

我们考试见!
PS:下册新加坡数学1B的书本和练习册请在1.27春季学期第一次课带来^_^

Bilingual Chinese 1: Final Review and Parent Meeting Sign Up

Thanks for coming to the first class in the year of 2018, in an extremely cold day.

We finished learning Lesson 8: 我喜欢蓝色 today, and practised the song for BCS Chinese New Year Gala 新年好:)The kids have done a good job!

Key Points:
1. pinyin: zh ch sh r
2. radicals of 喜 欢 颜 色 红 蓝 (See Textbook Page 50 )
3. Review the structures of characters (汉字结构), counting the strokes of characters(数笔画).

Homework
1. Textbook Page 47, Part 3 (Listen to the recording. Tick what is true and cross what is false). 

2. Review and prepare for the final exam on 01/21/2018.

Contents of the final exam: 
a) be able to write the basic characters and understand their meanings (早 你 好 再 见 对 不 起 几 个 人 口 没 有 名 字 王 天 一 什 么 白 色)

b) be able to circle the basic radicals and can match to their meanings
Textbook Page 11,20,27,33,36,41,50

c) be able to read the basic pinyin and their 4 tones
Textbook Page 2, 3, 5,17, 18,25,31,32,39,47

d) be able to know the structure of each character
Textbook Page 12,21,22

e) know the basic strokes (dian heng shu pie  na ti)

f) be able to count how many strokes are there in each character
Textbook Page 14,23,36

g) be able to match the basic conversations
Textbook Page 24,30,33,34,37,43,  46,  49



Most of the questions will come from or be similar to the ones in the workbook. So if you have done your homework carefully each week, you should hold the confidence to do it well on the final exam. 

For the final exam, the written part and oral part take 50% each. So, please be prepared for the oral test as well!



Parents Meeting


Next Saturday we will have the parent-teacher meeting during the online class session. For the limited time scale, each family has only 10 min. However, you are welcome to contact me via email or have a talk with me at school if you have any further questions. 


From 3:00-3:30 we will have the final review lesson for all of the students. Please remember to come back for the online class at 3:00 pm on 01/13/2018.

Look forward to seeing all of you then!






Math K 01/06/2018

谢谢大家在-20摄氏度的极寒天气依旧坚持来上课^_^

我们今天学完了上册的最后一课:Weights(重量)。小朋友们比较了生活中不同物品的轻重,也尝试着用老师带来的厨房用电子秤称了身边的小物品:剪刀、笔、橡皮、书本、巧克力等等。

主要知识点:
1. 比较轻重:heavy, heavier, heaviest;
                     light, lighter, lightest
2. 理解若天平保持水平,则两端物品重量相等的概念。知道“等量代换”,如一个小橘子=4颗巧克力等。

作业:练习册P145-150
          复习题P151-155(是下周的作业,也欢迎小朋友提前完成^_^)






有空继续复习20以内的加减法哦!下周online class见!
