My little one is enrolled in the Chinese Mandarin dual language program at her school. What's "dual language"? A class where half of the students are fluent in a particular second language and half do not speak that specific second language - in this case: Mandarin. This way the students can teach each other a new language by conversing as well as receive instruction from a teacher fluent in Mandarin. It has been a month and my little one is singing simple songs in Mandarin on the way home. She is using quite a few Mandarin words in her conversations with us. Written Chinese words are an addition to topics in English such as math, reading and writing homework. She started using Chinese for Kids Notebook Pink Star Cover to practice dashes and strokes. Yes, she loves pink!
Chinese for Kids Notebooks are available in pink, blue and orange colors.
