What I Have Been Learning In Mandarin

In the third quarter I have learned things like how to say the names of various school supplies, etc.  We also learned about Chinese New Year calligraphy. We practiced with wolf hair brushes and ink, on rice paper. We went into a 2nd grade classroom and gave them a tutorial about calligraphy. We talked about yáng, the character that means goat, sheep, or ram. Then we made them write it the same way we did previously. We also covered some basic sentences like, “Whose is this?” Or, “Is this your computer?”, etc.
