说一个小场景给你听,你一定会欣慰。那天上课读了curious George takes a job,晚上回来做作业的时候,她很兴奋的给我大致讲了故事内容,说小猴子离开动物园后,去学校餐厅怎么怎么了,和厨师怎么怎么了,又去擦玻璃,怎么怎么。。。她说的神采飞扬,语速极快,是她一贯的兴奋状态时的作风。我事先没有看过这个书,后来我自己读了读,发现她说的内容都对,说明她上课都听懂了读懂了。
我女儿最近迷上你给她的那本书,好像是准备下次开班上的那本,书名STARGIRL。她迷得要命,天天在家翻译,说是准备给更多不懂英文的人了解这本书。。。我只要看她翻的中文版就可以了,哈哈。第一次看到她有翻译的欲望。好像是说High school的事。她跟我从头到尾讲了一遍这个故事,讲得太好了,lots of expressions,
老板娘,今天我早上送进来的时候,Sheila告诉我今天有点Drama的内容。我女儿一回来,我就问她:“今天是不是学Drama?Did you enjoy it?"她很吃惊地问:“妈妈你怎么知道的?”(因为我大概知道一点如何教Drama),我就问她:“是不是学了Mime?”她更吃惊了,说:“妈咪你怎么知道?一开始就是Mime。”哈哈,我说我料事如神。
适合小学一至三年级的孩童(视英语水平而别)。该课程在美国的学校体系里属于社会科学(Social Studies)的一部分。我们既维持它社会科学的核心内容,又根据中国学生的特点加入语言学习的侧重部分。因此,我们给它的归类为“ESL Social Studies Class”
Ginny老师将她所具体教的这门课取名为Let's Travel Around the World! (One Country, One Month)。
