Nihao, parents! This week the preschool class learned different parts in the kitchen.  The refrigerator, the oven, the microwave, and foods we store in the kitchen.  All students took home a bingo chart with food vocabulary.  Please review the bingo chart with your children so we can explore more into the kitchen-food theme next week.  Most of the students are able to color the fruits with the correct color specified in class.  For parents who speak Mandarin at home, I’d like for you to point out the fruits we did not have a chance to color in class and say the sentence pattern “[color] de [fruit]” (黃色的香蕉 for example).  Feel free to ask me in class on March 5th if you do not know how to pronounce the sentence or use the sentence structure.

• Water 水(Shui)
• Milk 牛奶 (Niunai)
• Banana 香蕉 (Xiangjiao)
• Grapes 葡萄 (Putao)

• Hamburger 漢堡 (Hanbao)
