Laugh and Learn Chinese
欢声笑语中文课
Li Xia and Leif's Mandarin Chinese Immersion School & Daycare
李霞和leif老师的汉语课堂日托班
Our school blends an embrace of play with a routine of sound study habits.
Learning occurs when you’re having fun! We offer high-energy activities and games that appeal to students who love moving and socializing. An active, healthy body and an ability to undertake independent discovery are critical to nurturing a flourishing mind. We believe play is often the best way to jumpstart curiosity, motivation, and discovery.
At the same time, we diligently plan lessons to equip students with responsibilities and skills that allow them to succeed in later stages of their lives. Respect, concentration, and teamwork are accomplished with direct guidance from us two teaching adults. We ensure young children enter elementary school as fluent Chinese speakers, and as academically capable students prepared to succeed in every subject. We offer a diverse range of enriching children activities each day, to enable a routinization of both study and play.
我们的课堂是一个浸入式中文教学环境，在各种主题游戏中学习，让学中文如母语般自然习得我们提倡在欢乐中学习，课堂提供高能量的活动和游戏，去吸引喜欢运动和社交的学生。一个活跃而健康的身体和独立发现的能力对于培养健康的心智至关重要。我们相信玩是激发孩子好奇心，动力和发展的最好方式。
与此同时，我们用心规划课程，让学生具备责任和技能，让他们在人生的后期获得成功。尊重，专注，团队合作都是在我们两位老师的直接指导下完成的。我们的目标是努力确保儿童进入小学时能说一口流利的中文，在每一门学科上取得成功。 我们的日常课堂计划是使游戏和学习成为一种习惯。

How We Teach Language Immersion
我们的浸入式教学
Our primary aim for students is ensuring their safety, security and confidence throughout the day. We achieve this goal by remaining patient and positive when guiding students through different routines—playtime, lessons, eating, music, yoga, bathroom, chores.
我们对2-6岁学生的主要目标是确保他们的安全，和信任中度过我们一起的一天。通过耐心引导学生完成不同的日常活动——游戏，上课，吃饭，音乐，瑜伽，上厕所，做家务等来达到这个目标。
New students enjoy jokes, music, understanding and compliments in both English and Chinese, to establish communication and trust. We use nonverbal communications—body language and physical demonstrations. We also use 4 short Chinese classes per day to specifically teach picture flash cards, chants, greetings, daily talk, and recognition of basic written characters.
Students and parents have electronic access to all our learning materials, plus the Easy Steps to Chinese for Kids textbook series matches the introductory content taught during a student’s first year.
新生对课程的接受和回应
英语和汉语就像一个池塘，通过讲笑话，听音乐，去了解和赞美对方，两者是相互补充。此外，为了建立有效的沟通，以确保他们的合作，我们使用非语言沟通——身体语言和身体示范技术指导。我们每天使用2-4节（20-30分钟）专门教授识字卡，问候语，日常绘画，基本汉字识别。学生和家长可以通过电子方式访问我们所有的学习材料。此外，儿童读物的步骤与我们浸入式课堂第一年所教授的内容相匹配。
As students become accustomed to a learning environment rich with support and praise, they begin to more readily recognize, comprehend, respond, and embrace the challenge of learning another language. We then have the opportunity to reserve longer portions of the day for exclusively Chinese communication.
当学生习惯了一个充满支持和表扬的学习环境，他们会开始更容易的认识，理解，回应，接受，学习另一种语言的挑战。然后，学生就会更习惯而且自然的去用中文和同学交流。
We’re into coaching up and complimenting students on their learning progress, no matter how small such results initially appear. Once students enjoy the learning process and feel their efforts are being validated by adults and their peers, they are more motivated to consistently follow routines and try harder.
当学生学习有进步的时候，我们会给他们赞美和记录，哪怕这些最初看起来多么微不足道。一旦学生们享受学习的过程，并感到自己的努力得到了成年人和同龄人的认可，他们就会更有动力坚持和遵循常规学习，更加努力。
How We Teach English Literacy and STEM Subjects
如何教授英语读写和STEM科目
While Chinese is the central focus of our day for young learners, we also include two lessons per day taught in English—one focused on English reading/writing, and another on a STEM (science, technology, engineering, math) topic. Examples:
-group reading, one-on-one reading instruction
-vocabulary and grammar games
-basic writing
-active math skill-building exercises
-using people and things to understand + - x ÷ = ≠ symbols and examples
-science terminology
-outdoor exploration of living things
虽然汉语是我们这一天的中心课程，但是我们也有两节英语课，一节是英语阅读／写作，另一节是STEM（科学，技术，工程，数学）这些课程的例子包括让学生练习听和读故事书，词汇和语法游戏，数学技能建设活动，户外活动和动物探索，以及其他冒险活动。
