Week	020 (2011.01.23-2011.01.29)
What we do in class:	Review 13-16.   Computer class.
What to do at home:	Peview of Lesson 17.   Flashcards: 20-30.   Joy of reading.
What to hand in next week:	Homework pages:  Lesson 17:  page 2-3. Find another copy in this link if your hard copy is missing.    Computer typing practice:  20 words.  Printed and hand it in in class.   20 memorized Flashcards.  Find another copy in this link if your hard copy is missing here.   This page signed by you and your parents (if no homework handed in).
Notes from Miao:	Good to be back.  Let's try and get back on the horse and get the class rolling.  I had some difficulties last week and hoping things will get better coming days.       Each of the student will have the "contest page" to work with starting this week.  Please try and read through it as many times as possible.  We are not looking for a memorized contest (of course, "memorized" will gain you a fast-free gift card right way).  The contest-in-class day is in March.   Our "joy of reading" is not doing well.  Anything you do at home associated Chinese learning will count.  Please make efforts.   Chinese New Year Day:  2011.02.03.  Guess what animal sign is this year?   Contact me: 978-369-3139; Hsumao2005@gmail.com regarding all questions, concerns and absence.
