Class Experience
For the next 5 weeks, I will cover the theme of "Life Cycle (生命周期)” specifically the chicken. We will start with greetings, opening song, calendar, and weather in Chinese and English. Then we will delve into the topic of the week. Your child is encouraged to join the other learners to play "Phonic Scavenger Hunt" of a specific letter that I will post each week. Week 1: Life We will learn "I'm a Little Chicken" song. We will work on the word "life" in Chinese and English. We will learn to draw simple chicken life cycle. Week 2: Counting Eggs We will learn numbers 0-10 in Chinese and English. We will to draw a simple nest for our eggs counting. Week 3: Size We will learn the word "big" and "small" in Chinese and English. We will learn to paint a chick. Week 4: Egg We will learn the word "egg" in Chinese and English. We will do a "tear art" project. Week 5: Chick We will learn “母鸡带小鸡” song. We will learn the word “chick” in Chinese and English. We will draw and make a hen and her chicks puppets. We will end the week with a closing song. Throughout the circle time, you can pause as needed. With FLEX class, you are always welcome to review the videos a couple times so that your child can remember how to pronounce the words properly. This is a FLEX class and here are a few things to be expected. 1. Lessons will be pre-recorded and links will be given each week. 2. Your child can break down the activities for the week in a few sittings. 3. Worksheets will be posted each week on Sunday. 4. Interactive discussion between other students and / or me regarding the homework, activities, or artwork are encouraged and will be in the form of pictures, videos, and / or messages in the classroom page. 5. Short video upload of your child Chinese pronunciation will help me understand his / her progress. It is encourage but not mandatory. 6. "Phonic Scavenger Hunt" will be posted on Wednesday and your child can uploaded their findings either on picture or video format for sharing. 7. Feedback from me will be given in the classroom feed either in image, video, or message format.

Parental Guidance
Parents' help for printing, taking picture, taking videos, and posting on Outschool platform is necessary.
I expect the little ones to be able to try on the activities by themselves without much support from their adults. However, please be around to supervise your child and ready to assist if needed especially during scissors time. If your child still put things in their mouth / ear / nose, please stay beside your child during activities for their safety.
Supply List
Please prepare blank papers and washable markers or crayons for every class. Monday - blank paper, markers / crayons Tuesday - blank paper, markers / crayons, playdough Wednesday - white / blue construction paper, yellow and orange tempera paint, used toothbrush, black marker Thursday - colored construction paper, scrap paper can be white or old magazine Friday - white construction paper, brown, orange, red, and yellow tempera paint, paint brush, black marker, scissors, tape, 2 pieces of popsicle sticks

Teacher expertise and credentials
I was a bilingual (Chinese - English) preschool teacher and a mom to my 7 year old son. I have taught 2.5 - 5.5 year old children for 3 years before deciding to stay home with my son for his virtual schooling due to the pandemic. Before becoming a preschool teacher, I was a Program Coordinator for a Chinese after school program (K-5) for 5 years.
I was raised as a trilingual (Indonesian, English, and Chinese) child and I believe that children raised with at least two language will benefit in life. Therefore, I am passionate about teaching children at least two languages (Chinese - English or Indonesian - English) at an early age especially during the Golden Period of 2 - 4 years of age. Teaching two languages to young children will be in different format from teaching older children. I will include songs, hands-on activities for their fine motor skills development, movements for their gross motor skills development, arts, language arts, math, etc.
This class will be in a circle time format for your young child and will be conducted in both Chinese and English. I will switch back and forth between the two languages. If your child do not speak Chinese or English yet, he / she will be fine. I will translate for them as needed. Remember, their brain is like a sponge right now! They will absorb fast! Reviews
