Wow! Tom Brady may have just delivered the greatest quote I’ve ever heard.
“To be successful at anything, the truth is you don’t have to be special. You just have to be what most people aren’t: consistent, determined and willing to work for it.”
It was an unique experience for our Mandarin students to learn how to create a calligraphy artwork from a well-known local artist Mike Mei. Mr. Mei has presented more than 30 solo shows at Harvard University, NYC, and Chicago. His artworks has been exhibited in Peabody Museum.
We can't wait to take our Mandarin students to Taiwan in April! This immersive experience will allow our students to encounter the new culture and create memories that will stay with them forever!
I was overjoyed to receive emails from two of my graduated Mandarin students, one sharing with me her lunch today for Moon Festival, and the other one telling me that she takes Mandarin 5 days a week. The simple "I miss you" at the end made me feel so warm inside.
Scoring intermediate high in all reading, listening, speaking, and writing in Mandarin is really challenging, but our Mandarin 4 students made it with passion, effort, and perseverance. Congratulations!👏
More Generals from my Mandarin 4 classes will be earning their Seal of Billiteracy: Winter Baird, Julia Tsappis, Alfie Chien, Ephram Adler, Eric Hutchinson, Sofia Ryan, Finn Tratnyek and Celia Coleman. Mandarin is challenging but it's achievable! Congrats and so proud of you!
I couldn't be more proud of all my seventh grade students who have only learned Mandarin for 1.5years but they have achieved such a high level of proficiency. I just can't help "bragging" because the Generals are so awesome, and they deserve a big shout-out.
Mamdarin 3 Ss learned how to make homemade Boba tea in class. Hopefully, this can save them some trips to "Gong Cha" to get Boba tea that they love ❤️.
Finally got some time to post pictures of our Chinatown field trip. My students had so much!They got so many compliments from the store owners, other customers and Chinatown residents. One shopper said to my students " You Mandarin is better than me! " Go Generals!
Boston Chinatown trip with our Mandarin 4 &5 students was super fun. I'm very proud that they could order food and drinks from bakeries, boba tea stores, and the restaurant in fluent Mandarin. The students couldn't stop telling me how great the trip was on our way back!
Big shout out to our Hamilton-Wenham Regional High School Mandarin seniors: Alexandra Chan, Lily Glass, Mariana Kaulbach, Andrea Kohler, and Neve Sheckells, who have earned the Seal of Biliteracy in Mandarin. Congratulations on this outstanding achievement! I'm so proud of you!
