Dear NWS Families,

Happy Friday and hope all is well.  Many thanks to our volunteers with their help to make the speech contest a success.  Overall, it’s a very encouraging outcome to see how much preparation students have worked for this annual event.

With ongoing online learning throughout this semester,  I have the opportunity, along with some school personnel,  to observe various classes for online learning environment, student participation, and teaching materials.  We want to make sure we are providing an adequate environment and material we can to improve each student’s language skill.  One positive takeaway is that our students appear more comfortable and willing to practice Mandarin during class sessions.

To take advantage of this opportunity, we like to expand our online tutoring during the 3rd hour period in the regular semester. Currently, two senior students will join our regular tutoring teacher Miss. Fu to offer online tutoring.  If you kids would like to sign up for practice, please feel free to let me know. I can get students connected and arrange the ZOOM communication.
