All are encouraged to wear your Chinese fashions to join in the festivities. Registration will be taken....checks can be made payable to PECC Chinese School for $30/student. Looking forward to seeing some familiar faces and always excited to see new ones!!!

Crazy to think the weather won't cooperate, but for some reason school is canceled, you will be notified via email.

Fall 2009 Session of PECC China School

Ni Hao!

Welcome to the Fall 2009 Session of PECC China School! There are many EXCITING changes for the upcoming session that will run September 13 - November 22~

Interested in helping?

Part of the program includes interaction with a DVD. The ideal situation would be for each class to have their own setup, so we are not moving TVs and/or students room-to-room. The school is in search of TVs, DVD players and TV stands (preferably on wheels). If you have any of these items that you are not using, we can put them to use!

We are also looking for Chinese-speaking individuals that would be interested in helping out in the classroom. If interested, please let us know!

If there is a particular Chinese topic you are knowledgeable about and would like to share with the students during culture time, we are always looking for unique ideas!

---

On a personal note, I am VERY excited for the changes and I hope you are too!! I believe this program will encourage the children to want to speak Chinese in a more social environment. I am looking forward to seeing everyone soon!! PLEASE feel free to respond if you have any questions or suggestions.

Our Spring session came to a close on Sunday, but it was a blast! All of the students participated in a short program featuring Chinese readings and a musical performance of "Chun Tian Hao." We are all so proud of their accomplishments. Shortly after wrapping up the program, the kids had a chance to spend all of the coins they earned during the Spring session at our "store." We played carnival games out in the parking lot and had even more chances to earn coins to spend. The weather was great, we couldn't ask for a better day! Thanks everyone for all of your hard work and making this a great semester -- we'll see you next Fall!

Ni Hao China Friends!!

This week will be our last class for the Spring 2009 session. Children will attend a shortened class to review songs and/or material studied. After, there will be a program for the students to share with family members what they have learned over the semester.... don't forget your camera! We are so proud of their accomplishments and we know you will be too!!

Following the brief program, the students will have an opportunity to "spend" the coins they have earned over the semester. They will also have a chance to earn more coins playing games at the carnival planned.

We are asking each family to bring a dessert to share.....keep it simple!! Past experience tells us the children will be doing a lot of running around!!

We will also have a sign-up sheet for all those returning in the Fall. Due to limited classroom space, new students will only be accepted based on the number of previous students returning. We want to make every effort to place returning students first......... don't forget to sign up!! No classroom fee will be collected at this time.

THANK YOU for a GREAT Spring session!!

The kids had a great time learning about Chinese calligraphy. Miss Georgia taught everyone how to hold the brush straight up and down and to paint characters gracefully on practice sheets.
