Welcome K3 Mandarin Program

Dear Parents,

Welcome to kindergarten! Hope your kids and you enjoyed the first week of school so far! A special THANKS to Amanda Peng and Rodriguez Patrick for being our room parents.

This new academic year will bring with it interesting challenges and bountiful rewards. There will be wonderful teachers to meet, entertaining books to read, different friends to make, and many useful skills to master.

ISD provides all school supplies, including folders. This allows students to organize notes and homework (optional) that should be brought back and forth to school weekly. Every Friday all students will bring home their orange folder inside the drawers in class and bring it back Monday morning.

All students work will be kept in binders at classroom. I have labeled all items prominently with your child’s first and last name for easy identification. I will review student progress with you at least twice a year during Parent-Teacher conferences. I can pull his/her work anytime and get a copy as you need. ISD also provides each student a T-shirt and a cap which will be worn on field trips.

School Blog: I will upload almost all the academic resources onto our blog! Weekly theme, reading and math focuses, Chinese online practice, word wall, Chinese songs & dances, useful learning resources…Everything can be found here: http://lingzhiwen1211.blogspot.com

Newsletter: A monthly newsletter will be sent to you by email. It will cover important dates, notes, and what we’ve learnt within the month.

Photo Release: If you have any concerns of your kids’ pictures being in our blogs, newsletter, please let me know.

Sunscreen: It will be extremely helpful if you could help put sunscreen onto your kids every morning!

PE: please have your child wear gym clothes and shoes on Tuesday and Wednesdays because we have PE those 2 days.

Target Language BACK TO SCHOOL NIGHT is August 23rd. More class details will be addressed. I look forward to seeing you all there

By working together we will be able to have successful and confident graduates. I can be reached          lingzhi.wen@isdenver.com. I look forward to a great year working with you and all students. Thank you in advance for your suggestions and support throughout the year!!!

Sincerely,

Lingzhi Wen, Mandarin K3 Teacher
