Second Grade: We practiced telling the differences between the position words上面、下面、裡面、外面、前面、後面. We practiced how to make sentences with 就 therefore, 把---放-- take up and place, 最 most. We reviewed the story and the origin of the moon festival and why Chang-E flew to the moon. We enjoyed learning about the moon festival, and we talked to each other about what we especially liked about the moon festival and how we celebrated it at home. We also looked up this year's corresponding date for the moon festival in the lunar calendar 農曆. We learned about lunar calendar 農曆 and the use of it for the ancient Chinese farmers.  We can't wait to have moon cakes!

In English, we worked on our new set of Unit 4 vocabulary words. Some of our new words are: passage, shallow, talent, insist, and coward. We also worked really hard on spelling these words this week, as a good majority of them consisted of double letters in them. For example, passage has two "s" next to each other. We then worked together during a class activity where each student had to challenge another student to come up with a sentence using any of our new words, but the trick was the sentence had to make sense and the vocabulary word was used correctly.
