Mandarin Parent Tea time
On Wednesday, 19 September 2018 the Mandarin department held the first Mandarin parent teatime for Chinese native parents from Grade 1 to Grade 10. This teatime was mainly focused on native Chinese students’ reading and reflection. The Mandarin department has set up a systematic reading programme from PYP to MYP helping to meet the requirement of Chinese A in DP. The participants will be trained in critical-thinking skills, reflection skills,self-management skills and communication skills during this process.
Teachers will track students’ reading on a weekly basis and they will have activities to help students discover their own reflective thoughts because every unit is related to the books they read.
We have received a lot of positive feedback from parents in response to this teatime. We think this kind of programme at CISH and parents’ involvement can successfully prepare students for the Chinese Language A course of the DP programme.
中文普通话课程家长茶话会
2018年9月19日星期三，CISH中文部为1年级到10年级母语为中文的学生家长举办了首届中文普通话家长茶话会。本次茶话会主要是帮助家长理解学校的中文阅读项目，进行有效的家校合作，帮助孩子进行有针对性的课外阅读和反思。CISH中文部的老师们经过教学研讨，设立了由PYP到MYP的系统阅读项目，以满足升入DP之后对于中文A课程的需求。在这一过程中，将对学生们进行批判性思维技能、反思技能、自我管理技能和沟通技能等方面的训练。
老师们将每周跟踪学生的阅读情况，并开设苏格拉底讨论圈等活动加深孩子们对阅读的思考。
本次家长茶话会后，我们收到了很多来自家长们的积极反馈。我们认为这样的家校阅读活动对于孩子们未来实现DP语言A的目标有很大帮助。
