005//Letter to the Class: No School on 10.10

Dear Class,   
Greetings.
So, you all know already, right?  -- No LCS school on 10.10.  
Do you know 10.01 is a big holiday in China?  and Why?
Do you know 10.10 is a big holiday in Taiwan (Double Ten Day)? and Why?
Clue:  Think July 4th in USA.


As we talked about already-- there is no homework this break.  
HOWEVER, we have assignment to work on:  the flash cards!  
Now, I have your attention, please read the following:   
I.  Announcements:  
     1.  "Joy of Reading" !!-- again, earn your gift card($)
by doing your homework, working on your flash cards and projects.  These all count into your joy of reading.  Please log your reading @the Joy-of-Reading-Log. 
II.  Homework and Assignment:  
     1.  No homework these 2 weeks.  Nevertheless, for those you have not turned in your over-due homework, please try to finish them.  (p. 1-6)
     2.  No written homework.  But, please work on the flash cards.  Your responsibility is to memorize 20 cards (at least).  Bring in all your cards and put those memorized 20 (without answer), in a separated pile.  TRY and challenge yourself by doing some difficult ones- such as your parents' names.
     3.  Project assignment:  Ariana is in charge.  Subject:  Animals.  
     4.  Book assignment:  Josephina is in charge.  Please bring in your book (in Chinese). 

III.  Preparations for class:  
     1.  For our textbook preparation, again, , *read/**listen to the text (Lesson 14) recording and read the pinyin/bopomofo.
     2.  Our theme still:  Clothing.   will be sending up a page on those items you picked, regarding clothing, later.
