CAoC CSL Newsletter

First of all, we would like to thank you for your tremendous support to our remote learning. A couple of classes had the outdoor lessons and the students had a great time. Special thanks to those families who opened their homes!

Our Parent Conference is on Saturday, October 3rd. On the same day we will also celebrate the Moon Festival and Teachers Day with many fun games. So, mark your calendar! Additionally, we are launching two new initiatives: CAoC Challenges and Student of the Month. See more details below.

If you have any suggestions or questions regarding our CSL programs, please don't hesitate to email me, caoc.csl@gmail.com.

Fondly,

This tongue twister is one of the most popular Chinese tongue twisters. It's so short that it only has 10 words. So, practice it, record it, and send it to caoc.challenge@gmail.com!

Here is the Pinyin for the tongue twister. Pay attention to the tones!

Māmā qímǎ, mǎ màn, māmā mà mǎ

(Mother is riding a horse. The horse moves very slowly. Mother scolds the horse.)

Starting September 2020, the school is going to select one or two students from all CSL classes to be the Student of the Month. The criteria is not based on the academic achievement but on learning attitudes, attendance, leadership in class, and characters.

Student of the Month will receive a certificate and a gift card from school. To honor the recipient of the Student of the Month, his or her picture will also be posted on the website and social media.
